‘Buttered Saltine Crackers’ Are The Hot New Snack Trend Everyone Is Talking About
Buttered Saltine Crackers are the snack trend everyone is talking about right now. They are an easy 2-ingredient snack that you can make in seconds!
Buttered Saltine Crackers
I am not going to lie, until a few weeks ago, I had no idea Buttered Saltines were a thing.
I guess it could be that I never really had grandparents in my life to teach me this!
Apparently, this has been a thing for many years and the majority of people I have talked to know about this easy snack and ate them as a kid.
However, some were just as confused as I am but I have to say, I’ve tried it and it is DELICIOUS.
Well, whether you’ve tried it or not, Buttered Saltine Crackers have made a comeback as an easy and tasty snack you make it just seconds! Seriously, you need to try these!
Oh, and while you are at it, give our Christmas Crack a try (you can enjoy it anytime of the year).
How to Make Buttered Saltine Crackers
Ingredients:
- Saltine Crackers
- Butter – I like the sweet cream butter
How to Make Them:
Start by softening your butter just enough to smear them onto the cracker. If you don’t, you risk breaking the cracker.
Using a butter knife, smear a thin piece of butter onto the top the cracker.
Eat and enjoy!
Now, some people have even said you can flip the cracker upside down so the salt side hits your tongue and the other side is covered in butter. That is also delicious.
You can even put these on a cookie sheet and bake them for a few minutes to make them warm and then apply the butter so it’s a bit melty.
I have to say, I am sad that I just learned this tasty snack but I am so glad I did!

This post made my brain hurt. Please tell me that this is satire?
You got to have it like sandwich butter in the middle with 2 crackers and have some Tea
Seriously!! How is this just “trending” now it’s been being eaten since crackers were invented ? lmao
Ate buttered saltines as a kid and always butter my saltines with soups and salads. Yummy!
Always had them as a kid with my Mom and inside our Coffee!!..the Best Breakfast !!…
White people
Always trying to take something ?
Hispanics have been doing this since god know when it isn’t a hot new trend it’s what grandma fed us ??♀️
@Me, It’s you and me, I can’t believe there is a page dedicated to this wonderful cracker. I have no words to describe the feeling, I guess you said it all. Every morning I eat 4 small sandwiches of these crackers with butter dipped in my coffee, I eat them with soup, when there’s no bread there’s always saltines, I even eat them alone. They are definitely my favorite!
@Me, white people were also doing this 50+ years ago. It is not a race thing. Other this are but not this. White crackers eat white crackers with or without butter hee hee.
@Laura,
@Me, Black Americans have done this for decades too. It’s only new to the gentrifier types!
Please go back to college and try again…
You should rewrite your blog post as totallythedumb.com
Is this what Gen Z has been up to? Praying for the nation ???
@OMG, HAHAHA ?
@OMG, guilty as charged
Either you are 12 years old, or have been living in a cave all your life just to emerge and immediately be handed butter and a pack of saltines… try again.
Are you serious, lady? SMH. What groundbreaking journalism.
Shame on your stupidity, Brittney Piper. Good god.
@Kayla, I blame her parents. They must be devastated that their child has become this.
This is the dumbest attempt at “discovering something new” I have ever seen. Please choose a different profession. Folks have been putting butter on crackers for 100’s of years…
I made this but i subbed bread and jam for the crackers and butter. Also i toasted my bread first
Don’t forget to use butter and not olive oil for this “hot” “new” snack! ????
I’m going to give you a hint into the all new hot and upcoming trend… if you inhale and exhale, you’ll give your body oxygen…
@Youre just now figuring this snack out?,
?????
This blog/recipe is a joke right??
@Maggie, I hope it is. Hard to wrap my head around this one.
I’m 74 years old. I’m from Puerto Rico. Ever since I can remember this has been the go to snack for Puerto Ricans accompanied by hot chocolate. And now my grandkids favorite.
@Iris Limardo, aaajaja tengo 75 asi que llevo un año mas que tu comiendo saltines! Esto tiene que ser una broma.
Kudos to you. Great job of getting people to your blog site! Might I recommend the Bordier Butter from France with your crackers…yummy 🙂
This isn’t new. It’s been a staple part of puerto rican breakfast/ coffee since my mother was a child amd her mother before that. F* outta here with “trendy” just cuz whyt ppl have had to live at the poverty line for once
@Anastasia, that is the dumbest thing I have heard! It has nothing to do with color or race!
@Anastasia, you poor simple mind. White people have to live at the poverty line? Where do you come up with this? You must be one of those people that whine and cry about not having something yet sit on your @ss and suck on the welfare teet! Such a hateful racist Anastasia! And before you run your mouth I am Puerto Rican, I just don’t sit around playing the race game, my dad taught me better than that! You get out of life what you put in! I take it you are born and raised in the States and not from the island with the way you talk about “white” people.
@Anastasia, yes we ate these when I was young and they’re definitely a poor food
@Sam, wow! Someone definitely got triggered.
@Anastasia, yep she’s trying to make the price of saltines skyrocket, just like the gentrifiers did with the price of kale, which Black Americans ate for over a century.
Shoot this is poor mans food. Native Americans been doing this for years ever since the US put our people on reservations and handed out government rashings our people made this simple snack. It’s not new. As a young girl I used to have to fix a plate of this for my grandparents. My dad always used the other sailor boy crackers with butter. Glad you caught on but it is not new.
… wut.
This is a silly as people going gaga over Avocado toast. My mother was eating avocado toast in the 1950s and I was eating buttered saltines as a kid back in 1970.
People act like this is some new and novel idea. It isn’t on both counts.
@Seth Chadwick, agreed
@Seth Chadwick, and kale!
Is there a particular type of knife I should use the spread the butter?
My bad, I see now that you specifically mention a butter knife. Duh!
@Wilmot, You’re joking right?
I really hope this is a joke or a sarcastic take on the article. As anyone from the age of30ish and older, this has always been around. It’s just the vast selection of other crackers and such that these likely became less seen…Goldfish, ritz and Keebler, etc. Saltines are and have always been awesome!
