Seasoned Oyster Crackers
It is hard to imagine that a tiny little cracker could be so tasty! The kids seriously love these. They grab them by the handful and practically lick the bowl clean.
I always try to plan ahead with snacks so that I don’t hear, “Mom, I’m hungry. There’s nothing to eat!” With these tasty crackers stored in my pantry, I can stop that conversation before it even happens. They know there is a delicious snack there for them when the afternoon munchies hit.
What Are Oyster Crackers?
These tiny little crackers were originally created and meant to be used in Oyster stew. If you’ve even been to the East Coast you know that if you order a bowl of any kind of chowder, oyster crackers usually come right with it. I think they actually look a little like an oyster too, so maybe that is how they got their name?
They tend to be somewhat flavorless on their own, as they are meant to complement the soup or dish they are being added to. We simply took that standard cracker and added some tasty seasonings!

I had these years ago with some friends and have never seen a recipe. Hope this is the same.
So good and easy. I did add some seasoning salt instead of celery salt. My grandkids love it!
These are awesome and easy to make. It took me awhile to find a recipe that didn’t call for a packet of dry ranch dressing.
