How to make Sriracha maple Oyster Crackers

Add Sriracha, Syrup, Honey & Salt to a skillet with melted butter and oil, bring to a low boil. Then add the crackers and mix until they are coated.

Place coated crackers on baking tray and cook for one hour. Then let cool and enjoy!

Oyster Crackers

There are no oysters in oyster crackers — they are wheat flour-based crackers that have a flavor similar to saltine crackers but with less salt. Oyster crackers are docked (holes are made in the dough) and slow baked at low temperatures until crisp, and their flavors can range from bland to a little bit buttery. They make the perfect base for this addictive recipe!

What Is Sriracha Sauce?

Sriracha is all the rage…and for good reason. Its so fresh and delicious. Sriracha is made of chili peppers, sugar, garlic, distilled vinegar, and salt. Its consistency varies between brands- Huy Fong’s sauce is similar in consistency to ketchup, and the original Sriraja Panich has a thinner, more liquid consistency.

I don’t like super spicy things, so the maple syrup (use the real stuff!) really cuts the spice. a great combination. this was all mom’s idea…good job mom!

Storing These Oyster Crackers

These Oyster Crackers are also great because you can make a large quantity, and then freeze for later! Place crackers in plastic freezer bags or wrap them in plastic wrap. Wrap them again in aluminum foil to help protect the crackers from moisture and freezer burn. They should last 6 months.

But beware…its pretty tempting knowing they’re just sitting in the freezer waiting for you when you get home…they’ll be gone in no time :)
