Oh my goodness what an easy cheap snack ! I’m usually not a fan of anything buffalo but these little crackers are amazing! Whipped up a batch this morning for small group tonight, thank you for this recipe !
Wondering if it would be okay to use butter instead of oil?
These are absolutely fabulous. I used Cholula hot sauce & added almost a teaspoon of cayenne pepper to it. It’s rather spicy & not for the faint of heart.
Is buffalo sauce the same as the Frank’s wing sauce ? If not what kind do you use ?! Thank you!
I used Frank’s wing sauce
In the oven now! Smells so yummy … Can't wait to try it:)!!!
Hope you enjoy them Lois!!
What kind of oil did you use?
whatever you prefer is fine – canola or vegetable works good
Alexis is shopping with Trevor right now and I asked her to get the Cheese Its and Oyster crackers so I can make these for the Carolina Kentucky game this afternoon. Thanks!
Making another batch right now for the Carolina, Tennessee, and FSU games tomorrow. Good stuff.
Sounds yum! Think this might be a Christmas goody treat for work!
