Awesome snack Stephanie !! Thanks!!
Excellent! I’m so happy that you loved it Chris!!
Your recipes are always great!
Where would we buy the ranch seasoning? Would we use the Ranch seasoning packets that I’ve seen?
Thanks
I’m so happy that you’re loving the recipes Donna! Yes- it would be the ranch seasoning packets! 🙂 You’ll just need one packet. I’ve updated the recipe to make that more clear!
I am using your recipe for the oyster crackers. I will be serving them tonight at my Bunco party. Thanks.
I can’t wait for everyone to try them Sheila! Enjoy your party!🩷
Can these stored in the freezer
Yes, you can freeze them in an airtight container and then thaw at room temperature later! 🙂
Grandson gives this recipe 5 stats!!
Ohhhhh PERFECT Marge! Thank you soo much for sending the message! You’re the best!
Please tell me where I can buy oyster crackers.
They’re sold in grocery stores, Walmart, etc, in the same aisle as the other crackers are, near the Saltines! 🙂
My mom is a lover of all things ranch. I made this for her to munch on during the holidays. She loved it. It tasted great and it was excellent on top of bowls of chili.
I’m so happy your mom enjoyed munching on these Kimberly! Thanks so much for taking the time to leave a review!💗
These sound great! FYI…I have been making a spicy version of seasoned oyster crackers for years but I don’t even put them in the oven. After adding the crackers to the vegetable oil/spices, just move them around, flip bag over every hour so for the first few hours. Just leave them in the bag over night. Next day they are completely dry of oil. Last for weeks. I can’t wait to try this version as well 😋
Thanks for sharing! My husband would love the spicy version, sounds yummy!💗
This recipe is so easy yet soooo delicious. My family ate them all in one night! I have a feeling I will be making this often. But it is especially good to put out near the holidays. I would much rather the kids snack on these rather than chocolate and sugar all day Thank you so much for giving the link for the Ranch seasoning in bulk. I also used olive oil as a suggested alternative to vegetable oil in your notes. My husband and kids snacked on them till they were gone! Next time I’m going to hide some away for me (wink). Great recipe. Thanks again!
I am so happy that you loved this recipe Nola!! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts. Have a great day!!
