ORANGE RITZ DESSERT
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
60 Ritz crackers
1/2 c. melted butter
1/2 c. sugar
1 can Borden's sweetened
condensed milk
6 oz. frozen orange juice
13 oz. Cool Whip
2 cans Mandarin oranges,
drained
Combine crackers, butter and sugar; pat into 9 x 13-inch
pan. Save a few crackers for top. Chill milk overnight. Whip
this about 5 minutes. Fold in Cool Whip and orange juice
(thawed). Fold in oranges. Spread on crackers. Sprinkle
crackers on top. I like to put a box of orange jello on the
crackers as it adds flavor. Refrigerate.

and mix thoroughly. Pour over cracker crumbs. Refrigerate.
Spread Cool Whip on top and sprinkle with reserved crackers.
RITZ COOKIES
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
1 large box Ritz crackers
1 can Eagle Brand milk
1 c. chopped dates
1 c. chopped nuts
Frosting:
4 oz. Philadelphia cream
cheese
3/8 c. butter
3 c. powdered sugar
1/2 tsp. vanilla
Cook milk and chopped dates until thick. After bubbles
appear, cook 5 minutes longer, stirring constantly. Remove
from heat; add 1 cup of nuts. On cookie sheet, place Ritz
crackers. Put part of mix on each cracker and top with another
Ritz cracker. Bake at 350 degrees for 8 minutes (do not overbake).
Make the frosting; beat until smooth. Cover crackers.
However, If You Want To Try The Traditional Ritz Recipe For Mock Apple Pie, Don't Serve The Pie Warm, Serve It Cool Or Cold. And Yes, It Tastes Fine With A Slice Of Cheese Or A Scoop Of Ice Cream... And It's A Perfect -- And Historic -- April Fool Joke.
