Saltines (Loaded)

luvmybge's Note:

Why pay a high price for seasoned crackers when you can spend .89 cents for a big box of saltines and put your own toppings on them?

The first batch I made most of the toppings fell off. I let the butter cool a bit and stirred in some garlic. The next batch with the thickened butter turned out much better. My crackers were 1.09 in the bargain bin at the bread store. When I tasted them out of the box I thought they tasted a little stale. They were still awesome made this way!!!!

I spread each saltine evenly with softened margarine to hopefully prevent the toppings from rolling off, and it worked great. I would definately make these again, they are VERY flavorable. I added all the listed ingredients, a little extra garlic powder and some onion powder. Next time I would decrease the amount of caraway and celery seed perhaps by half because I found their flavor too intense for my taste. Great snacking cracker!
