Instructions
Roasted Garlic Parmesan Cheese Spread
Combine cream cheese, garlic, Parmesan cheese, almonds, and salt in the bowl of a food processor.
Pulse until smooth.
If you don't have a food processor, finely chop the nuts and mince the garlic then stir all the ingredients together.
Olive Spread
Combine black olives, garlic, and olive oil in a bowl of a food processor and pulse until the olives are well chopped.
Add the cheese and pulse until somewhat smooth.
Season with salt to taste.
Snowman
Top 19 of the crackers with the cheese spread and the remaining crackers with the olive spread.
Arrange 1 row of three cheese topped crackers at the bottom edge of your serving platter.
Arrange a row of 4 on top of the first row placing the middle two crackers in between the bottom three.
Then add a row of 5, then a row of 4, then a row of 3.
Add a row of 5 olive topped crackers in a straight row above the row of 3 cheese topped crackers forming the brim of the snowman's hat.
Arrange two more rows of three olive topped crackers above the brim forming the hat.
Use the remaining two olive topped crackers for the snowman's eyes then add a carrot nose.
Serve any remaining cheese or olive spread with more RITZ Crackers.
