Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe
As a former sand and sun worshiper and native of Florida, I am often asked, “what snacks are good for the beach?” The sun has a way of sucking the calories out of you and often tummies, namely those of the kids, are famished! My first goal of preparing beach friendly snacks is to feed a crowd. If you go to the beach with two kids, you always end up feeding about triple your head count. Kids pick up kids. People also eat larger servings in the sun. I love to make a meal healthy, but I also like to make a hearty snack.
This Seasoned Oyster Cracker Recipe is perfect for feeding a crowd and is incredibly tasty. Best of all, it is easy to whip up the morning before you head out to the beach or prepare ahead and store in a tightly sealed bag or plastic container. This is a family recipe. My stepmom has made it for years and my kids always ask for it. She makes it without cheese crackers, but this year for our beach adventure, we decided to mix things up. In addition to our oyster crackers, we added Goldfish! I figured this would be a nice touch for our young crowd, three kids two and under!
