The Best Butter Crackers: Can Anyone Top Ritz? (TASTE TEST)

The Best Butter Crackers: Can Anyone Top Ritz?

Crackers aren't the most exciting food in the world -- you'll rarely crave crackers the way you'd lust after a burger or chocolate. But they're absolutely necessary at parties, serving as a vehicle for your favorite cheeses and dips. And once you bite into those flaky, buttery little vessels, it's pretty hard to stop eating them.

So what's the best butter cracker on the market? Our editors blind-tasted eight popular brands to see which is best. We judged them based on texture, saltiness, butteriness, and their ability to hold toppings. Of course, we were expecting the classic Ritz cracker to out-perform the rest -- but check out the slideshow below and you may be surprised by the results.
