“Brought a Big Bag of It to a Work Party and Had to Send Out a Company-Wide Email With the Recipe Because People Were Obsessed!”
The Ultra-Simple Snack Mix Everyone Can’t Stop Eating
Some recipes don’t need a fancy name or complicated steps to become legendary. This is one of those. It’s the kind of snack you casually pour into a big bowl, set on a table at a work party, and think nothing of it—until people keep coming back, asking who made it, and slipping handfuls into napkins “for later.” By the end of the day, your inbox is full of requests for the recipe.
This article breaks down that famously addictive, ridiculously simple seasoned cracker snack—often known as Ranch Oyster Crackers—and explains exactly how to make it, step by step.
Why This Snack Is So Addictive
The magic lies in three things:
- Tiny crackers that soak up flavor without getting soggy
- Buttery oil and seasoning that coats every bite evenly
- Low heat and patience, which allows the flavors to absorb slowly
The result is a crunchy, savory snack that tastes far more complex than the effort required to make it.
Ingredients You’ll Need
This recipe uses pantry staples, which makes it even more dangerous—in the best way.
- 1 large bag oyster crackers
- 1 cup vegetable oil (or light olive oil)
- 1 packet dry ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon dried dill (optional but recommended)
- ½ teaspoon lemon pepper or black pepper (optional)
That’s it. No fresh ingredients, no prep work, no stress.
Step-by-Step Method
Step 1: Preheat the Oven
Set your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature is key—it allows the crackers to absorb flavor without browning too quickly.
Step 2: Mix the Seasoning Oil
In a small bowl or measuring cup:
- Pour in the oil
- Add the ranch seasoning packet
- Stir in garlic powder, dill, and pepper
Whisk or stir until the seasoning is evenly mixed into the oil. This ensures every cracker gets coated with flavor, not clumps of seasoning.
