garlic freak sample mix

  • 1 bag oyster crackers (9 oz)

  • 2 bags Goldfish Crackers (12 oz)

  • 1 box Flip Sides Pretzels (mini) (7 oz)

  • 1 cup neutral oil (canola, vegetable, or peanut oil work best)

  • 1 package Garlic Freak spice mix (3 TBS)

    Instructions:

  • Preheat (optional): If you like your crackers extra crispy, preheat your oven to 250°F.

  • Mix it up: In a large mixing bowl or a two gallon-size zip-top bag, combine the oil and Garlic Freak spice mix. Stir or shake well until the seasoning is evenly blended into the oil.

  • Add the crackers: Pour the crackers into the bowl or bag. Toss or shake until every cracker is coated in that sweet, savory goodness.

  • Let them marinate: Let the crackers sit for at least 1 hour (or overnight) to soak up the flavor. Stir occasionally if using a bowl.

  • Bake (optional): Spread the crackers in a single layer on a baking sheet and bake for 15–20 minutes, stirring once halfway through, to lock in the flavor and crunch. Let cool before serving. I bake the samples!!!!!

  • Serve it up: Store in an airtight container. Perfect for party bowls, lunchbox snacks, or a unique appetizer Bangin! twist
