Cheez-It and Hidden Valley Ranch Crackers Are Coming — Here's How to Get Them First

Everyone, pay attention. The ultimate mash-up is finally here. Cheez-It and Hidden Valley Ranch are finally coming together to create the snack of snacks — Cheez-It x Hidden Valley Ranch Crackers.

“We’ve seen fans mixing up their own blend of ranch seasoning-dusted Cheez-It crackers on social media, so we knew creating the perfect blend of cheezy and zesty flavors together was essential to satisfying their cravings,” Cara Tragseiler, the senior brand director for Cheez-It, shared in a statement provided to Food & Wine. “Much like our loyal Cheez-It fans, ranch lovers are seriously obsessed with Hidden Valley Ranch, so it was a no-brainer to infuse that fandom with our own to create a new, legendary cracker flavor.”

This snack drop comes just months after the two companies came together to create Cheezy Ranch, the bottled dip/sauce/dressing that the duo shared in March is the perfect combo for "crispy French fries or a freshly baked, warm soft pretzel," or really on anything else you want. 

According to the two brands, the new cracker combines those same tastes as the dip, and is essentially just like the snack you've likely been making at home forever. It simply includes that Cheez-It base with a dusting of ranch right on top. 

“Creating the perfect snack for Hidden Valley Ranch and Cheez-It fans just made sense as the next step in the collaboration,” CC Ciafone, the marketing director at Hidden Valley Ranch, added. “Hidden Valley Ranch seasoning pairs so well with everything, we knew together we could create a delicious, zesty masterpiece.”

But, of course, there's a huge catch. The crackers drop in stores across the U.S. in July … but only for a limited time. So, if you find them and love them you better stock up, or you just have to go back to whipping up a batch yourself. 

There is another way of getting your hands on these limited-time crackers. Beginning June 25, Cheez-It is hosting daily cracker drops at shop.cheezit.com through July 1, so fans can try to get a box for their upcoming BBQs before anyone else. And maybe grab a Cheezy Ranch sauce while you're at it for good measure.
