Notes
- You want actual ground horseradish for this recipe, not a horseradish spread. Usually you can find ground horseradish in jars in the refrigerated section of your grocery store near the cheeses.
- While you can make this appetizer using other crackers, I highly recommend using Ritz crackers for this recipe- either the name brand or the store brand equivalent.
- Dijon mustard is a must, do not try to substitute yellow mustard.
