Place crackers in a large bowl. In a small bowl combine the melted butter or oil, ranch mix, dill, garlic powder and black pepper. Pour over crackers and toss to coat.
Oven Method:
Preheat oven to 275°F. Spread crackers on 2 baking sheet and bake for 15-20 minutes, or until toasty and oil has been absorbed.
Allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
Slow Cooker Method:
Place coated crackers in crock pot. Cook on LOW for 1 hour. Remove lid and stir. If the crackers still look wet, continue cooking on low with the lid off, stirring occasionally.
Remove crackers from pot and allow to cool completely before storing in an airtight container.
