Cook’s tip

LEFTOVERS

Ritz crackers

If you don’t want to just snack straight from the box, crush the crackers to crumbs and use to coat chicken before baking. Or, for a sweet option, sandwich two crackers with peanut butter, then dip in melted chocolate. Leave to set before eating – if you can wait.
