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.

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.

Notes

Ranch dressing mix: To DIY a packet’s worth of homemade ranch dressing mix, in a small bowl, whisk together 2 Tbsp. powdered buttermilk, 2 ½ tsp. dried parsley, 1 tsp. dried minced onion, 1 tsp. garlic powder, 1 tsp. onion powder, ½ tsp. dill weed, and salt (I like ¼ tsp.). 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.
