Buttery Ritz-like cracker! I saw this recipe in the Co-op magazine this month, and since I’m not a vanilla wafer lover, but do love good crackers, I decided to make it using my banana cream recipe. Years ago, I probably would’ve used Waverly crackers, but I’m not sure they’re even made anymore. I had a couple sleeves of buttery rounds from Trader Joe’s, so I tried them. For me, it was the perfect complement to the cream filling and bananas – not too sweet, good texture, and great hit of salt.
