Ranch seasoned oyster crackers are one of my favorite guilty pleasures. Super salty, crunchy, carb-y ... oh la la. Yes, please.
Although I don't think I ever had these as a child, as a young adult they popped up frequently. Ranch flavored oyster crackers are perfect for taking on road trips, the boat, on the beach, and anywhere else you need a little crunchy snack that can live sans refrigeration ranch oyster crackers.
How to make ranch oyster crackers
A lot of people bake these, but I prefer a no bake method. Not sure why I get these thoughts in my mind, but heating up the oven for these just feels ... excessive? Excessive of what? I am not sure.
So without the oven, I simply add a liquid fat like butter or oil and toss the crackers in it. Then sprinkle the seasoning on top and toss until all the crackers are covered.
