This is a compensated review from BlogHer and Ritz Crackerfuls.
Like just about everybody, my kids need a good pick-me-up snack mid-afternoon. They were excited to try the new Ritz Crackerfuls.
They come in two flavors, cheddar cheese and four cheese varieties.
The snacks come individually wrapped, 6 per box, and are a good size. These are great for travel--it's very easy to just stick a few in my purse or backpack and head out for our activities.
2 out of 3 of my kids really liked the crackers--but kid #3 is really picky so his opinion rarely counts. ;)
This tastes like a hearty ritz cracker (yum!) with filling in the middle.
Now for the fun stuff!

right about now... 2pm
I usually need a mid-morning snack, and another at around 2:30 to keep me going. These look like they'd be great to keep in my desk!

I love love love eating crackers in the afternoon about 2 or 3 pm as a pick me up snack. I also think these would be great to carry in my purse as a snack or in the car on roadtrips.

I just bought these the other day. My hubby and I both thought they were good (I got the Four Cheese flavor). I get the munchies about 2:00 - right after I workout.
rbkprincess@hotmail. com
Being pregnant I get the munchies frequently. These look like they would be great in the morning when I am having the morning sickness around 7;AM
lilkitsi@hotmail.com
I really need a pick me up snack at about 2 or 3 PM because I'm so tired and kind of hungry before dinner.
Pick me up snack? Hmm where should I start? I need one after my workout around 10:00, then one after lunch around 1:00, then one before dinner and after dinner, then one before bed, like last night I needed one around 10:00...
I tweeted http://twitter.com/budicheeks/statuses/2781411255
Anytime is snacktime! I could use one of those right now. Or in between lunch and dinner, those hours stretch on forever.
Mid afternoon is the time I get my snack attack. These look like they'd be great to munch on. I love snacks that slip easily into my purse for those times snack attacks happen on the go.

My quadruplets would LOVE these and i'm sure i'd be snacking with them all day long!

2:45ish. I try to hold out and it never works...
I get the munchies near bed time. I think it is from always having cookies and milk before bed when I was growing up. But If I don't eat something before bed I am up at 2am looking for something to eat.
jodi.abraham@q.com
usually around 3:30, which is kind of annoying because I know we will have dinner around 5:30, but I pretty much meet my hunger limit so after a full day of running with kids, I need something about then!!!!
ritz yummm..... hey moms can always use another "throw in the bag on the go" snack!!!
teriprice05@hotmail.com
I get snacky around 3:00. I am a teacher and it doesn't matter if it's summertime or not. I still need my after school snack as a grown up!!
thefiller4@gmail.com
4pm is when I get really snack crazed. i usually try to resist, but do often end up eating and spoiling my dinner appetite :-/
thanks for the awesome contest!
I'm not much of a snacker, but about three in the afternoon is when I sometimes need a snack.

YUM...they look delicious and would definitely help me through the mid-afternoon slump.
those look really good. I saw them the other day in the store and wanted to purchase them.
I get snacky between lunch and dinner and I'll usually grab a granola bar or make a piece of toast.
Right before bedtime is worst for me I just crave a snack then. Jaime
jdipaola02@cox.net
Is there ever a bad time for a snack? My favorite time to have a snack is about 3 p.m.
I need that snacky pick me up between 2 and 3 pm.
After work, I get hungry and need a quick snack before it's time for me to start cooking dinner. I usually have some fruit and cheese or crackers or yogurt, maybe a smoothie.
I usually have a snack attack right before dinner or right before bed. Even though I'll have just eaten dinner, I still get the craving for something to eat as soon as sit in bed and turn a show on.
Okay, I love those because they are scalloped! How sad is that!
9am! Is that sad? I eat breakfast pretty early, so after the gym and a shower I need a little something.

I find at 3:00 p.m. I nearly nose dive without a pick-me-up. These crackers look good, and I like that they are individually wrapped.
Between 2 and 3 is usually when I need a pick me up! These look so good - can't wait to try them! ;)
I usually like a snack about 4:00. The crackers look yummy. Think I'll try them.:)

The hardest time of day for me is definitely around 4 pm!
I struggle around 3-4 p.m. These look perfect for that time.
I eat every 4 hrs, so 9:15am is my snack time!

Wow - your site is so attractive! I need that snack around 3:30. (and sometimes 10:30...11:00///11:15....er...)
I love the whole grain options with a cube of cheese...these sound great!
A snack at 10:30 or so and another around 3 is just right. I love these crackers just bought some a week ago. They are sure yummy!
I'm usually a good girl until I get home from work at midnight; gloves come off then and they're usually covered in chocolate by the time I roll into bed. My weapons of choice are handfuls of potato chips, cookies or that ice cream sandwich I hid in the freezer behind the peas.

I really need a snack by 4, then ice tea or soda while fixing dinner to keep me from eating while cooking.

Every day at 3:30 exactly I have to have a pick me up! Unfortunately, I'm horrible at planning ahead and usually hit up the nothing but unhealthy vending machine at work. :( These would be so SO perfect for me to bring to work! Look so yummy!
i like to have something around 11 at nite :)
My Bewitching hour is 4 pm! I become a ravenous BEAST and I have to eat something or I turn into a hairy Warewolf!!! Just kidding, but I really do become starving and have to eat at 4pm or I am a nasty beast and no one wants to be around me...
A little String cheese goes a long way towards Good will at that point! hahah

About 4:30 I crash just before the 40 mile drive home, so I'll stop at a fast food joint and buy a cheap hamburger.
Yum! I just had one of these...they remind me of the "big kid" Ritz Bitz, honestly. The big problem...I think they make me MORE hungry. It's just enough to really give me the munchies...I usually get them right before bed. I guess I just like the feeling of contentness while I'm laying in bed.
klh.oceaneyes@gmail.com
Around 3:30 to 4:00 I find that I'm starving! But it's just a few hours until dinner so do I go eat and have a snack or wait until dinnertime??? I eat a snack NOW!! I don't have any willpower and I can't wait!
