Ranch Oyster Crackers Ingredients & Tips
- Oyster Crackers: I like the Great Value mini crackers but you can use the regular size too. At our recent gathering, several people commented on how much they preferred the small crunchy cracker size!
- Butter: I used dairy-free butter, but you can also swap the butter for extra virgin olive oil!
- Ranch Seasoning: I’ve used both regular ranch seasoning as well as spicy ranch seasoning! They are both amazing!

This snack looks yummy! I’ll make them with my grandbabies because we’re always looking for a new snack. I think I might add sunflower seeds for an added crunch! Thanks for the recipe!
