Ingredients Needed to Make the Ritz Churros

Ritz Bits Peanut Butter. Grab an 8.8 oz package of the peanut Ritz Bits for this recipe.
Unsalted Butter. You will need one stick of butter.

Can I Use Bottled Cinnamon Sugar?

You can use a bottle of cinnamon sugar if you can find it at your local grocery store. However, if you have trouble finding cinnamon sugar, you can make it on your own with three ingredients. Combine the ground cinnamon with a pinch of salt and some white sugar to make it and use it on your Ritz Bits.

Can I Use Margarine Instead of Butter?

If you do not have butter, you can use margarine. Make sure to melt the margarine and mix it with the sugar, just like you would with the stick of butter. Use a stick of margarine. If you do not have stick margarine, a ½ cup of margarine is equivalent to about one stick of butter.
