I’m going to warn you now… these snackin’ crackers are nearly impossible to walk away from. You really cannot eat just one or two pieces, making them the perfect addition to your holiday spread. Trust me, whether you’re making these for tailgating, your New Year’s Eve party, or even this upcoming Christmas, these are going to fly off of the table and into your guests mouths, because… wow. They’re that good.
These simple crackers start with a cup of oil. To that, you’ll add 1 teaspoon each of dill weed and lemon pepper, and a half teaspoon of garlic powder. Pretty simple, yeah?
Next, you’ll add in a package of ranch dressing mix– the powdered kind. Give it a good stir.
From there, you add 2 (9 ounce) bags of oyster crackers or soup crackers– those little small hexagon ones.
Give them a really good stir to ensure they’re completely covered, and spread them all out on a baking sheet in a single layer, making sure most of the oil is absorbed.
Then, bake. It takes about 15 minutes at 250 degrees for all of the oil to disappear and for the crackers to be completely infused with a pop of flavor. No more dull crackers at your holiday parties– these snack crackers are where it’s at.
My grandfather was a huge fan of these crackers, and in the final months of his life, I remember him having an airtight container of these around– they’re just so easy to munch on! Plus, since they’re really easy to make, they aren’t just party fare; these snackin’ crackers are good for anytime. Of course, they do impress at parties for sure.
