Shake It and Microwave It Cracker Mix

It might be overwhelming to see all the boxes thinking that it’s a lot of store bought items and that it might be expensive to make.  I opted this time to buy the Aldi brand on two of the crackers making it very reasonable.  As far as flavor, this is the perfect mixture of crackers and topped with an even better mix of seasonings, making it a delicious party snack.

One by one the packages of crackers were opened and added to the brown paper bag.  After that, the seasoning is poured in. The seasonings are a blend of Ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, dill weed, and lemon pepper. The blended seasonings and oil coat the crackers to perfection and microwaving the mixture seals in the flavor.

Shake It and Microwave It

If you think this recipe looks easy to make, you’re right.  After the crackers and seasoning are added you give it a shake and then it’s microwaved. It’s just that easy!  I packaged this recipe for Maggie to distribute to the Big River Running Stores in St. Louis (they loved it)!  The picture below is the full recipe divided equally among three plastic gallon zip lock bags.

Make It A Gift

This recipe would make a great gift for someone or even a hostess gift packaged in a cute container.  As we head into the really busy time of the year, it’s great to have ideas like this ready for gatherings and gift giving.
