My boys love oyster crackers, I cannot keep them stocked, the gobble them up! Of course we also love Goldfish crackers ( I mean who doesn’t love those cheesy smiling fishes?!)
My grandma used to make these ranch flavored oyster crackers for the holidays and they were amazing! It took no time at all for her to whip up a big bowl of delicious crackers and she would always have little bowls of the crackers sitting out for us to snack on.
When my boys started on their oyster cracker binge I knew I could really blow them away by making them ranch. But I wasn’t content with just the oyster crackers, I had to throw in a bag of Goldfish too, deeeelicious!
My husband and his friends chowed down on these simply amazing crackers and I would often catch Dean with the whole tub!
They are just so perfectly flavored, perfectly toasted and perfectly popable. They are sooo addicting!

RECIPE FAQS
Can I add other things to this mix?
Of course! That is what I love about this mix! Feel free to add your favorite nuts like peanuts or try tossing in some pretzels!
Can I spice this up?
Sure! If you are looking to make things a little spicy go ahead and toss in a bit of cayenne, powdered chipotle or any other spicy flavoring that you like!
Does this package/travel well?
Yes!! This is the perfect snack to send in care packages, give as gifts, or take on the road for all those car trips.
Can I add anything else to mix?
You can add anything you like to this mix, pretzels, nuts, other crackers. I would suggest doubling the amount of seasonings and oil and making sure whatever else you add to the mix is equal to the amount of oyster crackers and goldfish crackers.

Ranch Salad Dressing Seasoning Mix- This is the dry mix that comes in a packet.
Vegetable Oil- You could also use canola oil if you prefer.
Garlic salt- This adds a little more flavor and you could use garlic powder.

I used Fiesta each packet a a tablespoon of regular rancn. Used gr as nulated g a rlic verses garlic sslt. Extremely good..Everyone loves this recipe.Sooooooo dimplr.
My family loves this stuff! I made a batch with oyster crackers, Goldfish and pretzels last week, and it lasted about 3 days. I made a double batch tonight and added Chex and peanuts, and it’s a hit too. Thanks for the recipe!
Yay!! I am so glad you enjoyed it!
I would like to make this for my staff at school consisting of 40 people. How many batches should I make?
Hmm its hard to say maybe 3 batches? It goes pretty quickly
This mix just came out of the oven, smelling delish. My husband is under the weather but I think a very large bowl of these crackers should help majorly! Thanks for the recipe…I think I will send a batch to my grandkids too. :-)
Yay! So glad you like it!
My mom started making ranch oyster crackers back in the late ’80s. They’ve been a family favorite since then. Her recipe had dill, lemon pepper, cayenne and either garlic powder or beau monde seasoning. I still make it like she did. I’m definitely going to add the goldfish crackers to it though.
I’ve made this three times now and love it! I am eating it before I even get it in the oven! Quick and easy!
I’ve made this mix numerous times and you definitely need to double the ranch/oil/garlic salt mixture if you use both oyster crackers and golfish. Otherwise it should definitely not enough. Super good tho!
I have made something like this but it also had dill on it very good
Oh man, I would be eating way too much of this!! Love the ranch flavoring and obviously the Goldfish added in :)
Great for kids, but also for adults :)
I love how easy this is to make. Totally the perfect savory snack!
I am soooooooo addicted to this. I just finished making 2 batches. I love to eat it wish sandwiches, soup, or just by itself. Thanks for the recipe.
Yay! So glad you like it!! They are totally addicting!
I just made this to take on a Girls Trip. I should have cut back on the garlic salt but the taste is good, just a little too salty. I’ll definitely make it again and adjust, maybe add some pretzels.
Hi! This sounds awesome!
In need to make this in advance of an event.
How long do you think it is fresh for?
It should stay fresh for about 5 days if you seal it up very good.
