These crackers have became a family tradition.Every Thanksgiving or Christmas I have a family member calling to ensure that I make and bring these! This is a tasty treat for all! You cannot go wrong with these! Even for the pickiest eaters! I highly recommend these.:-)

Sometimes you can't skimp and have to buy the name brand. That's the case with Hidden Valley Ranch mix. Nothing else tastes the same. I love this stuff, and Sam's is the cheapest place to buy it. This is the only way for authentic ranch. Well, if you want the very best, old school Original ranch is probably best, the pouch made with real buttermilk, but this is pretty darn good. It's way better than knock-offs or even the pre-made bottled Hidden Valley. It's inexpensive too, it comes out to 60¢ per 16 oz batch (for the seasoning mix). You do, of course, have to add your own milk and mayo, but even then it's cheaper than buying the less tasty pre-made. The key to great Hidden Valley Ranch is to only use real mayo (I like Duke's) and whole milk, even if you would like this as a dip. The sour cream dip recipe is good, but I just think the overall ranch flavor is better with mayo. Also, you must, must, let it rest overnight in the fridge to fully thicken. Do this, and it will be plenty thick enough, and you'll never buy another ranch dressing mix.

My kids, well 1 of them, thought they'd be unique and put a bottle of Hidden Valley Original Seasoning shaker bottles in my Christmas stocking. I've been using this product, but since Christmas meat, veggies, snack and a lil of everything has been seasoned with my shaker gift.

My family loves potatoes! It doesn't matter how theyre made, mashed, smashed, fried, baked. It doesn't matter, if it's a potato they're eating it. We have potatoes so often that we've had a hard time coming up with new ideas to make the new/different. One night we had a brilliant idea to add a hidden valley season to the potatoes and it just made them 100 times more appealing! Now everytime we made potatoes it doesn't "taste right" without putting in Hidden Valley seasoning.

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I love to mix a teaspoon of HV Dip Mix with my favorite mayo when I make any version of creamy pasta salad. i add shrimp or crabmeat, tuna or pepperoni with my favorite style and shape of pasta. I mix a cup of mayo, a third cup of sour cream, and 1-2 teaspoons of the dry HV Dip Mix and it is all the seasoning that you need for a great pasta salad.

This is on of my favorite Ranch items to have on hand. It can be sprinkled on anything and you can decide how much of that great ranch taste that you want. It's great for veggie dips, on meats, and in pasta salads to name a few. Thanks so much for the shaker bottle. I'll be shakin' it up all year long!

No idea why I hadn't picked one of these up before but I'm so glad did! It's so easy to measure out what I need for a recipe and being able to give my popcorn a little sprinkle of ranch for snack time is wonderful! Fully recommended for the convenience alone, let alone how nommy it is.

I recently got this and I am LOVING it! It makes already learned recipes taste so much better. When Im making a fast meal I like to put this on frozen chicken tenders or a frozen pizza and it makes it taste like more of a fresh cooked meal. 10/10 recommend.

As a single working Mom with 2 jobs, I am always on the go and often don't have time to eat healthy foods. But, I have recently been diagnosed with diabetes and have made it my goal to limit my salt and sugar intake. I love how flavorful and easy to use the Hidden Valley Original Ranch Seasoning and Salad Dressing Mix Shaker is and now use it on my burgers, chicken, potatoes, rice, steamed veggies & popcorn instead of fatty dressings and sauces.
