Spicy Oyster Crackers

When Silas was young, his grandmother (MiMi) would make spicy oyster crackers for him. I recently found a recipe onone of my FAVORITE websites, www.cooks.com and i tried them. I was SO excited when Silas said "These taste just like MiMi's." To me, that was the greatest compliment he could have given me. These are easy to make, are good in soup, or great for snacking!

1 packet of DRY hidden valley ranch mix
1 tsp. lemon pepper
1 tsp. dill weed
1 cup vegetable oil
1 large box/package of oyster crackers

in a LARGE bowl mix the ranch, lemon pepper, dill weed and oil together. Add the crackers and give them a good coating. Let them sit for 15 minutes. Repeat the mixing and sitting process two more times then transfer them to a clean bowl and let them sit uncovered for about an hour. The oil will "dry" and the crackers will be ready to devour!

Enjoy!
