Ranch Oyster Crackers

At my house, the Best Snack Award goes to Ranch Oyster Crackers. This easy, no-bake recipe is little more than crispy crackers tossed in butter, herbs, and spices, but even a big bowl disappears in minutes.

Instructions

Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with foil for easy cleanup. In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, Ranch dressing mix, lemon pepper, dill weed, and garlic powder.
To a very large bowl, add oyster crackers. Drizzle with the melted butter mixture and toss until evenly coated. Spread evenly over prepared baking sheets.
Air-dry at room temperature for 3 to 4 hours, stirring periodically to help crackers dry evenly.

Notes

Seasonings: Start with a packet of store-bought Ranch seasoning, like Hidden Valley, or make my own homemade Ranch Dressing Mix (which is really good!) Then add a little extra garlic powder, dill, and lemon pepper, because this snack is flavorful.
Oyster crackers: I love tiny oyster crackers because even the smallest of hands can scoop them up and enjoy them!
Storage: A tin, a tub, whatever airtight container you have to fit them. They'll be fine for a few days, at least.
