Ranch Oyster Crackers

While visiting my in-laws a few weeks ago, my little one had oyster crackers for the first time.  I can't believe I had never thought of those as a snack!!!  I mean, they are the perfect size for little hands!!!  As soon as we got home, I went out and bought 2 bags of them from Walmart.  (By the way, buy these babies at Walmart!  For normal grocery shopping I go to Publix because its closer, but they charge about $3.00 a bag for oyster crackers and Walmart sells them for about 99 cents!) 

Anyway, I mentioned the purchase to my friend Tara over at Mommy Time and she mentioned that she makes Ranch Oyster Crackers for the family to snack on.  Holy Cow!  That sounded YUMMY!!!  I love oyster crackers AND I love Ranch dressing!!!  Perfect!  So I looked around and found this recipe on allrecipes.com.

These are SUPER easy to make and a SERIOUSLY delicious!!!  Give them a try.  You'll probably love them as much as your kids do!
