Add crackers to a large mixing bowl. Mix boat dust into melted butter, then pour mixture over crackers and toss thoroughly with a spatula. Place on a parchment lined tray and bake 15-20 minutes, until crackers have browned ever-so-slightly.
You can use these as salad croutons, as hyped-up soup crackers, or pummel them in a food processor and use for everything from topping mac and cheese to crab cakes to chicken cutlets.
Variations:
Hot-as-Hell Deviled Croutons - add tsp ground cayenne or hot chili flakes to melted butter and Boat Dust.
Cool-Ranch Deviled Croutons - after mixing crackers and flavored butter, sprinkle 2 Tbsp powdered buttermilk over mixture, then bake.
Cheesus Cripes Deviled Croutons - toss Boat-Dusted buttered crackers with finely grated Parmesan or Romano cheese
