These are incredibly awesome! You would think that the oil would make them soggy. The key is to at least let them rest overnight. Because you are using the correct amount of oil, the cracker absorbs the oil. Add in all that seasoning and they come out just great!

could you use oyster crackers

I think that is a good idea and it should work.

Hi there! Yes you can use oyster crackers! Enjoy!

Wouldn't the crackers become soggy from the oil?

Hi there! The Test Kitchen Director makes these all the times when she hosts parties and they never come out soggy, but they do taste fabulous!

So you don't leave them in the same bag with left over ingredients.

I love these! BUT I put mine in a 200 degree oven for about 20 minutes to help dry the crackers. They do not go mushy or oily.

Seems like they would be greasy and mushy.

My sentiments also. I thought the same thing.
