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!

You know that you can dip them in coffee. Whole new game. Stack’em and dunk’em.
Miracle Whip is even better on a saltine than butter! Especially with chili or vegetable soup.
It’s even better if you make your own butter from heavy whipping cream. Put it in a jar and shake until it becomes butter. Add salt to taste. We used to do this with preschoolers as a science project. Fun & tasty!!!
Only thing I can’t agree with is “thin” layer of butter. The more butter, the better. Michiganders know that buttered saltines and Vernor’s soothes a stomach ache the best.
@Lee, I call it butter on crackers. And it’s not thinly spread. LOL. Slice it like cheese and just press it enough to stick to the cracker.
been eating these since I was a kid…but…and I don’t mean to shoot the messenger, but do people really need instructions on how to butter crackers? just finding this strange…
@Bryon, You’re so right! 🙂
I slide the cracker over the top of the butter.
Been eating them with butter for over 50 years. Added cheese at times. Done peanut butter and jelly also. Someone sure has to have a low IQto have to even give or follow a recipe for how to put butter on a cracker.
Been doing this for 45 years. I butter the non-salted side of the soda cracker.
This is not new. I ate this all the time growing up. I still do. Sometimes I would float them on top of my soup until they softened.
I hope this is a joke. Really. An entire page of click-bait on how to put butter on a cracker?
They are a wonderful complement to spagetti.
They are a wonderful complement to spaghetti.
Love butter and saltines! Also bologna and saltines. Quarter a slice of bologna . Put one quarter on each cracker.
This has to be a joke. Please tell me this is a joke.??♀️ Butter on Saltines is NOT new nor a trend.
@Amy Jo, You’re right.
Love this! And also love to make “cheese toast “ on saltines with cheese in the microwave! Was one of my son’s favorite snacks!
So very old school ! Back to the day when you did not buy boxes of proportioned pkgd snacks
Grandpas favorite coffee snack when coming in from the fields was also using processed cheese slices .
Been eating buttered crackers all my life
Fun, cheap, and yummy. What more could you want out of a snack?! @BrittaniePyper sorry some people are so ridiculously mean in the comments.
This is old school …. very old!
But this isn’t a recipe …like putting mustard on a hotdog….or jelly on toast… but if you need that…
What’s even better is matzoh crackers and butter or ‘unsalted’ saltine
@Jo Dean, YES MATZOH AND BUTTER IS EVEN BETTER BUT USE SALTED BUTTER!!!
@BARBARA UBELE, NO! Never use salted butter – use unsalted and then sprinkle with kosher salt. Much better this way.
Did you really waste you time on this?
Next week:
