This Appalachian Ritz Torte is a delicious and easy-to-bake dessert recipe calling for Ritz crackers, pecans and Cool Whip.

With a meringue-like base that’s salty, crunchy, chewy, and sweet and a pillowy whipped cream topping, Ritz torte is a regional delight. Originally from Appalachia, this dessert deserves nationwide attention.

Folks who adore the classic cookies will enjoy that same beloved flavor in these chocolate chip bars. This blondie recipe can be mixed up in a jiffy, tastes wonderful, and is perfect for occasions when company drops by unexpectedly or you need a treat in a hurry. —Rhonda Knight, Hecker, Illinois
