Notes

  • The calories listed are an approximation based on the ingredients in the recipe card and a serving size of 5 crackers. Actual calories will vary.
  • We used a packet of ranch dressing mix/ranch dip and took 2 teaspoons from it. This seasoning has a tendency to be salty for some, so adjust as needed.
  • We've heard from some readers that the dough is too sticky. It should be sticky! This dough should be sticky and spreadable using a fork, knife, or the back of a spoon. You can always add a tiny bit more flour if needed, but that may change the consistency.
