‘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!

Hi? Great Depression here.
Thanks for bringing this struggle meal staple back into the light as so many people need a cheap comfort food again.
I refuse to say how old I am, but I have been eating this wonderful treat all my life. And I am proud to say I taght my son.
Did you really just give a recipe to butter a cracker? This isn’t new, and not an “elderly” thing.
Always ate buttered saltines as a kid. When my dad couldn’t sleep he would wake during the night and head to the kitchen. I would hear him and get up and follow him. We would either butter them or crush them into a bowl and pour boiling hot milk over them. Always made me sleepy….. then I would head back to bed. Till this day I still like a hot cup of milk before bed….makes me sleep like a rock.
@Barbara, oooo tell me how to heat the milk please!!!!!! lol
@MA Umstead, LOL!
Add a sprinkle of granulated sugar, sweet and salty, takes your snack over the top!
You’re serious right?? This is far from new. I am in my 50,s. This was a thing when I was a kid. My sister did it and she is older than me.
Is this for real??
Your mind is going to be completely blown when somebody tells you about peanut butter.
Sorry, but I guess this article is a joke. A recipe to spread butter over a piece of bread? Seriously? But if it is older than walk forward!!!
My father used to eat them with a salad. It’s been part of my diet since 1977. It got me through Navy Bootcamp in 1986 when I was a picky eater and reminded me of home when deployed to Bosnia in 1999. I now share them with my 3yo daughter telling her “this is what grandpa liked to eat.”
I have done this for years. I also add cracked pepper to the top. Love them with stew/soups and chill!
Instead of butter, use a dill pickle slice. Less calories and fat. Yummy!
@Pam, you win best reply…
This is really old school but okay its good and has been around and about doing my childhood
But besides butter add some jam and it really pops the flavor.
Since you’re saving money on the basic saltine crackers, why not splurge on a really good European hi-fat content butter? Kerry Gold, Plugra, even Land O Lakes European are all readily available, and will lift your butter experience to new heights
You want to know what the best thing about buttered saltine crackers is….,.dipping them in hot vegetable beef soup!! Yum
@Terry Bracanovich, Chili!
I’ve been eating this my entire life. You didn’t reinvent the wheel.
What’s hot and new about any of this? It’s bread and butter….
This is a joke right??? We’ve been eating this “ HOT NEW SNACK” since Harry was a pup!!! Ugghhhh the nerve!
Um I was born 1984 and grew up eating buttered crackers……. this is sooooo old. Still yummy, but old.
You guys will swear y’all invented everything, huh? A recipe for something POC has been eating for ages?? You really will give anybody writing gigs lmaooo
@AO,
Jeez!! Everyone, not just POCs, has been eating this since the creation of Saltines.
@AO, do you think people of color invented butter and saltines? Does your ethnonarcissism know no bounds? Lmao
“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.” No, that is the only way. And if you really want to go crazy, use grape jelly instead of butter!
Have you cutting edge foodies ever heard of celery and peanut butter? What about popcorn and salt? Dont wanna get too nuts here but cheese and crackers?
@Corey, try celery, cream cheese and green olives!
@sarah Dury, Make cracker sandwiches. Two slices of bread; mayo, miracle whip or dressing of your choice, 4 individual crackers (once upon a time, the 4 crackers were attached into a unit). Spread dressing on bread, place 4 crackers in a square, top with second slice of spread bread – voila, cracker sandwich. Very filling when you haven’t got $ for anything else.
This is crazy! A recipe for buttered saltines??? I always ate these I ate then tonight in fact,with chopped garlic on top of the butter. Anyone want the recipe?
Isn’t buttered up crackers how we ended up with 4 years of Trump?
This article has to be a troll.
Thanks for the recipe. Couldn’t have made them without it! 😀
