For red, I used strawberry jam mixed with cream cheese. For orange, apricots. For yellow, pineapple. And for purple, blueberries. This one is so easy and a great way for smaller kiddos to have fun helping you in the kitchen while learning colors.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Strawberry Cheesecake RITZ<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/OHD-3110-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Enjoy miniature versions of your favorite dessert by topping your RITZ Crackers with a dollop of cream cheese and top it all off with some strawberry pie filling.<\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Jalape\u00f1o Popper Toppers<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/OHD-3108-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Enjoy zesty flavor by combining cream cheese with shredded Mexican cheese and top ping it off with a thin slice of jalape\u00f1o pepper. <\/span><\/p>\n<h3>Bacon Wrapped Jalape\u00f1o Popper RITZ<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/ourhollydays.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/OHD-3111-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\"><\/p>\n<p><span>Take the classic Jalape\u00f1o Popper Topper one step further by wrapping it up in a slice of bacon and baking it until crispy.
