Spicy Seasoned Oyster Crackers

WARNING: Spicy Oyster Crackers are addictive! You will not be able to eat just one nor will they last long. I make double the recipe at all times.

These spicy seasoned oyster crackers are a no-bake recipe. So simple.
Mix the oil with spices and pour over the crackers. Two tablespoons of dried red pepper flakes are pretty spicy to me. You can add more or less to your liking.
Mix around in the bag or container until all the oil is absorbed. I usually leave them in the bag for an hour or so.
We find the crackers are even better the next day. So if you’re having an event this is one of those recipes that is perfect for preparing ahead.
Try our scrumptious Peanut Butter Balls!

Serve! Try not to eat the entire bag at once by yourself.
