FAQs (Because Life’s Too Busy for Guesswork)
Yes, if you would like to make these, you can add red pepper flakes or even replace the butter with chili oil.
Yes, these are perfect for giving as a gift. Jar them up or put them in tins and give them away as gifts. They have a great shelf life, and who doesn’t love a quick snack?
Oyster crackers are small and plain in flavor, so they retain flavor well. Being small, they also provide more crispiness with each bite.
To prevent crushing, the best approach is to be gentle when mixing them. Sometimes, when things are chaotic and we have a thousand things going on, we try to rush through them, and that can be too rough. It doesn’t take any time at all to mix these up, anyhow, so it's best to take that extra second to mix them gently.
What are substitutions that I can make?
Salted butter – If you only have unsalted butter on hand, add 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and it will still work. You can also use oil as a substitute for butter. I would recommend olive oil or avocado oil.
Ranch seasoning - Homemade ranch seasoning will work just as well. Be sure to use 1 1/2 tablespoons.
Dried dill – Fresh dill can be used; it will take 1 tablespoon to equal the 1 teaspoon of dried called for.
How should I store my leftover oyster crackers with seasoning?
Ranch Dill Oyster Crackers should be stored in a large Ziploc bag or an airtight container at room temperature for 1-2 weeks. Serve at room temperature or heat in a toaster oven or air fryer for a warm option.

These are so fun! Definitely dangerous to have around because they disappeared wayyyy too fast. Loved the short ingredient list and how easy they were to make!
The crew loves oyster crackers, so I had to make these. They didn’t wait for them to cool. I’ll be make more this weekend. Thanks.
I love the combination of ranch and dill—does the flavor stay strong if you store them for a few days?
These are soooo yummy! Perfect for a snack or for soup season! Thanks for the recipe!
