‘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 is hilarious!? It’s not even close to being new.
Latinos have been eating this for like a century now. And crackers are not to be eaten alone. Research what is the beverage, also, what is the occasion or time we eat this. What does it mean to us, the bonding behind the “galletas con mantequilla”
This is not new. As a child I used to eat this, more than 35 years ago. ?. Please do better.
We used to eat this as kids 20+ years ago…lol
No carbs, no calories, no MSG and gluten-free!
OMG! This is so fun! I’m going to suggest this for the restaurant I manage. Except I’m just going to serve it as a block of butter with saltines on the side and call it “Buttered Saltines, Deconstructed.” It will go on the happy hour $9 appetizers menu and I think it will be a big hit.
Thank you so much for this dynamite recipe. It seems so obvious in retrospect, yet somehow I had always put cheese and stuff on saltines. This is so elegant in its simplicity. I hope you are given credit for this brilliant innovation.
Umm, if you grew up poor, or your family teceived commodities or rations, you ate this. This is a struggle snack that is now being gentrified. Funny how struggle meals and snacks are now trendy.
@Anah, I agree. I grew up in a developing country and indeed it was a struggle snack. I remember eating crackers and butter when we ran out of cheese, peanut butter, etc.
@WENDY, I didn’t grow up in a developing country but my family did, and we would always eat this all the time especially when times were rough. They way she gentrified this, I just can’t.
I’ve been eating butter in saline’s for years. Mostly with my homemade chili. My mom did it. My grandma and grandpa before her etc. or peanut butter bread lol. That’ll be the next “new” thing.
@Michelle, interesting. I grew up eating butter on saltines with chili as well. Wonder if it’s a regional thing. What part of the country are you? I grew up in Arkansas.
I only had rice crackers and I substituted the butter with sour cream, yuck!! The recipe seems okay but I’m highly disappointed.
I’ve been doing this for years….jelly? Lots of years…Cheese? Many more years…Pepperoni? Even more years than that! Peanut butter? The day I was born! Cream cheese? Salmon? Reese’s Peanut buttercups? Flufanutter? Come on people…Years. My grandfather was buttering his Pilot crackers in the middle of Narragansett Bay in the 30’s.
You can also add jelly (if you are not diabetic) OR try saltines with peanut butter. Yum!
You’re trolling us, right? There’s no way that you listed the ingredients and gave instruction on how to spread butter into something – for a snack that’s LITERALLY been around forever. I’m going to go with trolling us, because, if not, I’m legitimately troubled, saddened, and afraid.
I’m 40 and have been eating this as long as I have been able to eat solid food. Not new. Do some research.
This is not new. Been around for decades.
You got paid to write this?? Can you do one on how to make ice??
@jp, RIGHT??
You know what’s really good. Taking two crackers and putting a croqueta in between. Try that.
This is not new. Cubans have been eating this for years. I would eat this with my Abuela when I was a kid all the time with Cuban coffee.
A little tarde for la fiesta, mija.
@Sandra, Americans, too. Just not those with tons of money
Hot new trend… saltines were invented in 1876, pretty sure they’ve been putting butter on them since then. And if you need to make a recipe for it, god help your children and the fate of this country. Oh next recipe and hot new trend, how to butter toast for the participation trophy winners.
@Greg, Why isn’t there a “Like” button for this? I couldn’t believe someone needed a “recipe” for something I’ve been eating for almost 70 years! (I’m almost 72 so I’m guessing I didn’t start eating them til I was a toddler.)
Can you post the recipe for peanut butter and jelly sandwiches tomorrow? I’ve heard they are delicious.
New trend? Give me a break! Puerto Ricans have been doing this for decades!
@Ani, it’s a Caribbean thing ❤️❤️❤️
Los cubanos también
@Ani, Americans have been doing it too, just not the gentrifier types.
@Nona,
Puerto Ricans are Americans. If you mean white people, you should say so because using “American” to mean white reinforces white supremacy.
Very clear who the target audience is when you literally have to explain how to put butter on a cracker. This is the most absurd thing I’ve seen in a very long time! Who decided this was any kind of a new food craze? SMH
This is definitely NOT NEW I’m 52 yrs old and ate this as an afternoon snack as a child……next‼??????
Super late bro Hispanics been on this wave forever lol ?
@Jonathan, ?
@Jonathan, only the gentrifying Americans don’t know about this. The rest of us have been doing it for decades too.
@Nona, ummm no. I’m as white as can be and have been eating this since the 70’s!
I pray this site is satire ?
@Bryn, ya think? 🙂 I am amazed at all the anger in this thread (not you, but others). It’s amazing that anyone would even parse this post as anything but ridiculous humor. Or even that people would get mad enough to argue about something so silly.
