Mmmmm. These crackers! These really are delicious and so simple to make. I really don’t know what happens in the oven to make these little numbers so otherworldly…but something definitely does happen. They’re perfect as a snack or with a yummy bowl of soup. Or crumbled on a salad!

Make ’em ASAP.





First, do something really crazy-fun: Throw 2 sticks of butter into a skillet and violently sprinkle on whatever seasonings you want! I used seasoned salt (Lawry’s is usually my poison) and good ol’ Italian seasoning, but you can violently sprinkle on anything from lemon pepper to oregano to Montreal seasoning to paprika.

I would definitely recommend that one of the seasonings is some kind of salt blend to the finished crackers are ultra-savory.

Melt the butter and whisk in the seasonings so they’re all mixed in.

Next, rip open a sleeve o’ saltines…

Then, two at a time (I say that because we humans only have two hands; if we had three hands, I would say three at a time. If we had four hands, I would get a lot more sleep at night because I’d get more work done earlier in the day), drop in crackers…

Flip them over…

And place them on a rack on top of a baking sheet.

(If you want to cheat and sneak a couple now, I won’t hold it against you. But if you can muster up the patience…oh, man. You will be rewarded.)

Bake them in a 275-degree oven for about 20 minutes or so, watching them in the last 5 minutes to make sure they don’t start to get too brown. They should be golden and toasty!

Let them cool completely, then package them in a parcel of foil…

And delivery them to a friend along with a nice pot of soup.

You’ll love these crackers! Simplicity at its finest. And delicious-est.
