No Bake Ranch Oyster Crackers are one of the best parts of our family traditions. Every year at Christmas we visit my aunt to celebrate the holidays with my Mom’s side of the family. Part of our yearly tradition involves bringing a homemade treat as a “family” gift for all of the relatives. Ranch crackers have quickly become an easy favorite recipe.
Each year I make all of my extended family a basket of homemade goodies. One of everyone’s yearly favorites is Ranch Oyster Crackers. The recipe is super easy, involves only a few ingredients and will have everyone raving about their wonderful flavor!

You will need a large container so you have room to stir and shake. The one I have been using this year holds 10 cups.

Gather all of the ranch oyster cracker ingredients
- 2 bags of oyster crackers that are 9 oz each
- 3/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1 pack dry ranch dip mix
- 1/2 tsp garlic powder
- 1 tsp dill
I am able to shop at a local surplus grocery store and I can usually find the oyster crackers for 89 cents a bag. That’s a huge bargain off the normal grocery store price.
No Bake Ranch Oyster Crackers Easy Directions
- Put the crackers in a large container.
- In a separate container that you can shake, add oil and all other ingredients. A mason jar works great for this.
- Shake until well blended.
- Pour shaken oil mixture over crackers and stir gently.
- Seal the bowl and shake until crackers are well coated.
- Let crackers stand at least 24 hours.
Eat and enjoy!
You don’t have to wait until gift giving season to make these tasty Ranch Oyster Crackers. They are a great snack and add a delicious flavor when you put them on top of soup.
I like to make several batches throughout the year, not just at Christmas time. Store them in an air-tight container and snack your heart out. Just be careful the bowl may end up becoming empty faster than you think.
I really like the lock down seals on these Rubbermaid Storage Containers. (affiliate link). They are BPA Free and you can use them for storage, freezing, microwave and refrigerator. Buy this set and you can get rid of all those odds and ends of storage containers cluttering your cupboards.

Once you have made them, how long do they stay fresh? We often put them in small clear cello bags, wrap with a small ribbon and give them away? Thank you.

I'm sorry! I meant to include that I get the Rubbermaid containers at that amazing price at Costco! They sell on Amazon for $12.99 just for one!
Happy Non-Baking!

Great recipe! thanx so much! You can also buy 10 pound box of Keebler Oyster Crackers from Amazon for between $10 and $27 (priced depends on reserves/quantity). You can also get HVR dry dressing mix in a 25 pound box for approximately $150; Again at Amazon! Can you tell I make these all the time for work and home! I have 7-10# boxes in my kitchen as I write! WTF!!! Also, I love the Rubbermaid containers! I can't use anything else and gave all my other brands, as well as Rubbermaid away! They have 3 for $9.99 to $12.99 for three! Now that's a great deal! Just love sharing! And this recipe is awesome! I have been making it for about 30 years! Thanx again and have a great weekend!

Just wondering why the 24 hours wait? My mother in law always said that too, and I never asked her WHY !?!?

It takes some time for the crackers to soak up the oil. I've found that they just don't taste as good until the seasonings have had time to soak in and otherwise they feel/taste a bit greasy.
