Spiced Ranch Crackers

Crunchy oyster crackers tossed in a savory spiced butter mix. Swap classic ranch for a smoky chipotle seasoning and add a sprinkle of dried thyme for herbaceous depth. Butter quantity cut by 30 percent to keep them crisp but not soggy. Bake slightly longer to draw out toasty flavors and keep them from steaming. Turn midbake for even browning. Serve room temp, store airtight to lock crunch. Alternatives for butter and seasoning included, with notes on how to salvage overcooked or bland batches. The trick lies in textures, aromatics, and tactile cues over rigid timing.
