I made this for my boyfriend and I so I cut the recipe in half. It was yummy! We loved it, but next time we'll use tortilla chips.

I'm sure not what the previous reviewer is talking about, the shredded cheddar cheese melts perfectly fine and is a lot cheaper than Velveeta. Delicious recipe, tastes better with tortilla chips vs. Ritz crackers.

Try doubling the recipe; fixing it as directed; then chill it overnight and use tortilla chips instead.

This would be wonderful if Velveeta was subsituted for cheddar. Cheddar cheese does not melt evenly due to the high fat content. Velveeta has been formulated to melt evenly and makes a WONDERFUL spread! Give it a try!
