I’m always on the hunt for quick and easy appetizers especially during the holidays.

With more of us entertaining at home these days having simple to make appetizers within arm’s reach is a must! Which is why I always have crackers stocked in my pantry. 

BUT! When I speak of said crackers these are all sourced from my local Safeway. Their high-quality products from their exclusive O Organics®, Open Nature®, and Signature SELECT™ lines make picking out ingredients for holiday entertaining and every day shopping a breeze. I know that I can pop into Safeway and find quality, on-trend products at a value in every corner of the store every time I visit. Huge relief! 

Holiday Crackers: Three Ways!

That’s right. I wanted to give y’all options for entertaining. Today, I’m walking you through how to use crackers from Safeway’s O Organics, Open Nature, and Signature SELECT product lines. You’ll be able to make:

– Seasoned Baked Crackers using Signature SELECT Entertaining Crackers

– Festive Chocolate Ganache Crackers using Water Crackers from Open Nature

– Honey Whipped Goat Cheese Dip using Rosemary Flatbread Crackers from O Organics

Holiday Cracker: #1

Seasoned Baked Crackers using Signature SELECT Entertaining Crackers  

These buttery crackers are not to be missed. A mixture of melted butter, Worcestershire sauce, onion powder, garlic powder, salt, and pepper make these crackers a showstopper. 

You’ll simply dip the cracker into the melted butter mixture, bake for a few minutes, and then serve. That’s it! These will go fast so you better make a big ol’ batch! 

Holiday Cracker: #2

Festive Chocolate Ganache Crackers using Water Crackers from Open Nature  

You always need something sweet to offer when it comes to entertaining and these chocolate ganache crackers will hit the sweet spot. You’ll melt chocolate chips and stir in some heavy cream. Take a cracker and dip it into the ganache mixture. Sprinkle with festive gold edible glitter and freeze until the chocolate is set. Can you say easy peasy?

Holiday Cracker: #3

Honey Whipped Goat Cheese Dip using Rosemary Flatbread Crackers from O Organics

What’s a party without a dip? Wait. What’s a party without something to dip into said dip? This Honey Whipped Goat Cheese dip is the perfect companion for these Rosemary Flatbread Crackers from O Organics. You’ll mix the honey, goat cheese, lemon zest, and olive oil together. Sprinkle some fresh rosemary on top and then dip. The flavor is extraordinary and this can be made ahead of time too!
