Talk about ADDICTING. If you want to make a party snack, for an upcoming shindig you’re hosting, or going to… look NO further.
I’ve decided to call these little gems, “Party Crackers,” because even if I’m not serving them at a party, or sitting on the couch & eating them, well… it’s a party in my mouth. 😉 They can also be referred to as Spicy Ranch Seasoned Crackers, which may tell you a little more about what they taste like!
Savory Spicy Ranch Seasoned Crackers Recipe
Unfortunately, I could use big, fancy words, to try and make you want to make these… but really, until you’ve had them… you will have NO idea how much you’ve been missing out. Sadly, last year was the first year I had tried them. My aunt made them and brought them to a family function, and I literally found myself thinking about them throughout the year, hoping she’d make them again, and bring them to the event this year.
Then I began to think…
“Why in the heck don’t I just get the recipe from her, and make them myself?”
So I texted her, and she was so kind to send me the recipe an hour later. I felt like such a fool for waiting almost a year to ask her.
I made them a day later, ate them, made them again, ate them, and made them again.
The last time I made them, I figured that I better share the love, and share with friends.
I put them in a bowl, tied a pretty ribbon around them, inserted a berry sprig, and finished it off with a gift tag, and they were set and ready to go!
(I’ve also included a second container of my aunt’s infamous Cornflake Cookies. Talk about a sweet treat that’s DELISH! Get the recipe I shared over on “I Heart Naptime” HERE!)
Only 5 Ingredients:
I was completely shocked to find out how little of ingredients that are in this recipe. Like… 5. FIVE!!! Then, if you’re not a fan of a spicy kick in the seasoning, you can also reduce the amount of “spice,” to make it closer to your liking!
Saltines Or Oyster Crackers
These can be made with Oyster crackers or saltines! But I prefer the saltines for easier grab and go snaking.

Pin these for later to remember:
I love how simple this recipe is! I sent it to the other half so he can make something himself for the potluck this week! #client
Oh excellent! It is totally simple… and addicting. Beware. 😉
How many days do these stay fresh in the container
Hi Dawn! You know, in an air-tight container, I want to say the most I’ve ever had them stored, has been a couple of days. We always eat them before we give the chance to get stale. LOL! I hope that helps!
Crackers are great snack. And these ones are especially so!
You’re so right Tanya!!! Thank you for coming by!!!
These looked so good I purposely bought saltiness. You don’t say what size box and I only wanted to make one sleeve so I used have of the oil and spices. This recipe is so simple and delicious I wish I made more. I experimented and placed some on a cookie sheet and sprinkled some shredded parmesan and baked them. They were so good with artichoke tapenade. Thank you for the recipe.
So glad that you liked it! I love them too!
I accidentally got vegetable oil will this make a difference?
You know, I haven’t tried vegetable oil for these, but I can’t imagine that it would make much of a difference!
love your recipe! thank you!.. I modified the crackers though, used the saltine minis!! came out great! and the kids love them bite size, new take on cheese its 😉
Oh yay!! So glad that you like it!! Thank you Johnna!
I’m not a cook but I pay a lady $15.a bag for crackers. So I’m going to try to make them myself.
Oh yes! Give it a try! They’re super easy!!
These savory crackers sounds like a really fun gift for neighbors during the holidays!
For sure! You may want to double the batch in case you eat them while you package them like I do! Haha!! 🙂
This looks so tasty and simple! I will have to give it a try!
Yum, these are soooooo tasty! Love this recipe!
xo Michael
Thank you Michael! They’re a favorite for sure!
I have never added the red pepper flake to my crackers. A great addition!
Oh yes!!! I think that combined with the garlic pepper is amazing!
These would disappear in our house!
Haha! They sure do in mine!
OHHHH I love spiced crackers!
Me too sister!! Me too!
Have tried to make these so many times, and they always come out ruined. These are looking perfect and can’t wait to try them. Thanks!!!
Yippee!!! I’m so glad to hear this! They really are delicious and I hope they work for you!
They were divine!!!! Here for another batch. Trying a tbls of dill weed and a tbls of lemon pepper from other recipes. Thanks again for the greatest recipe ever!! Btw using a huge oven bag for tossing makes it so much easier.
Hi there,
“garlic pepper”, is that garlic salt?
Hi Sara! No there’s actually a spice you can get at the store that is garlic pepper. It’s one of my favorites. Here’s an example of some that you can get HERE
I love these crackers, but am looking for a substitute for the canola oil for health reasons. Vegetable oil didn’t work for the recipe. Has anyone tried avocado, coconut, or olive oil on these?
Hi Celinda! I haven’t tried any of those oils, but would love to hear from other’s as well!
Yes, we use olive oil. I love olive oil and since it’s such a healthy choice, it’s a no brainer,
Tried these today and while they are good and savory they are just a bit too salty for my taste.
I will re-try the recipe using garlic powder and black pepper. Not the garlic pepper (or nearly as much of it) as it has additional sodium.
I mixed everything together in a two gallon ziplock… that was very handy and clean-up was super quick!
Thanks for the super easy snack idea!
I use oyster crackers. Family likes the bite sized snack better.
Oh yes!! Those would be great to use too! Thank you for sharing!
