Puttin' on the Ritz


As we sipped on our French 75 Cocktails, we also nibbled on Chocolate Cheese (found at Trader Joe's) served with Ritz Crackers.  Well, I just ate the cheese by itself... it's that good, because I have yet to find a GF (gluten free) cracker that tastes like a real cracker.  But for the guests, I just had to have a "Puttin' on the Ritz" theme appetizer while we watched the Oscars.  You feel kind of elegant as you eat this cheese... extra sharp cheddar combined with rich dark chocolate curls.  I wish I could have somehow told all the Hollywood stars to stuff this little snack in their clutches as they sat in their seats!  Especially Angelina, she's looking a bit frail.  She could use some protein in her diet.  But who would have thought that this salty and sweet combo could work?  It completely does.

  1. I didn't even know Trader Joes existed until last Fall (thanks to a recommendation from my boss). There is a location right by my job. I'll have to check for chocolate cheese. Sound delicious!

  3. Isn't Trader Joe's the best?! They're starting to carry more GF products, thank goodness. Jenn, are those coconut cookies gluten free?
