While these Margarita Oyster Crackers are alcohol free, they are sweet and the flavor does really pop with lime and salt. I used sugar free Jello for the big burst of lime, and added some lemon pepper seasoning for a little flavor boost and black pepper kick too. This is a fun snack for summer noshing or while binge watching shark week with a nice cold drink. My son said a bowl on the bar would be dangerous if he was out for beers with the guys-a good enough endorsement for me:@) My only question, I don't know why it didn't turn green???
One four serving size sugar free Jello = approximately 1 Tblsp.
Tip: Do take the time to fish the crackers out of the bag instead of just dumping them into the bowl.
This is best without the small broken pieces and crumbs.
My favorite lemon pepper seasoning:
I do suggest buying a fresh one each spring:@)
Margarita Oyster Crackers
7 oz oyster crackers -this is the Dollar Tree size
2 Tblsp light flavored oil-I used vegetable oil
2 tsp sugar free lime Jello
1 tsp lemon pepper seasoning
(Alternately: 10 oz oyster crackers -Aldi size, 2 1/2 Tblsp oil, a whole pack of Jello, 1 1/4 tsp seasoning)
- Add oil to medium size bowl, stir in Jello and lemon pepper seasoning. Mix well.
- Add crackers, gently mix. Cover and stir occasionally for an hour. I like Lock-N-Lock bowls, and just give it a shake and turn it upside down every once in a while.
- Store in air tight container.
Snack boldly and have a happy day:@)
