It only takes a few minutes to make.
It’s such an intimate and fun little factoid that helps humanize the people we idolize.

I draw inspiration and ideas from almost anywhere and everywhere.

Then, spray a copious amount of canned cheese atop half the crackers.
Its okay if you use lessthe amount is up to you.
On top of the cheese, add a slice of pepperoni.
The spicier the pepperoni, the better, as the heat adds more depth and a kick.
Spray more cheese on top of the pepperoni, and then sandwich the filling with the bare Ritz crackers.
If you dont have hot honey, regular honey or even maple syrup would do.
The Brooklynite in me wanted to try a fishy version of Gomezs canned cheese Ritz sandwiches.
I swapped the canned cheese for cream cheese and the pepperoni for smoked salmon.
One warm bite later, I felt as if I was transported in front of a Brooklyn bodega.
