Ranch Oyster Crackers: An Easy Christmas Gift!

[Lisa/ChefBear]

I was thinking of making some of these again this year for Christmas presents, they are always a hit, but had a lightbulb moment of how or what
PC spices/rubs could I use. I always use the PC Dill, but would I use something else instead of say, the Ranch dressing mix???

Anyone have any ideas??

Thanks,

Lisa

I think they'd be good with the BBQ rub or the Moroccan rub. But I'd use the rub instead of all the seasonings (skip the dill, etc.), and I'd make a test batch (or half batch) before giving them out to people.I had a similar idea. I'm going to make Chex Mix with our seasonings. They already have a Moroccan-seasoned one on their website (it has cumin, coriander and cinnamon). I'm just going to use our rub instead of the individual seasonings.

I make these every year. I use the All-purpose dill seasoning instead of the dill weed but follow the recipe otherwise. They are great!

Be sure and let us know how this turns out Ann!

i love these little cracker things! I'm kinda thinking the asian seasoning would be good too!

Too funny! I made these about 3 p.m. yesterday afternoon - they are in lunches today. My recipe is a tad different though.
