1. 1

   Step 1: Preheat the oven to 250°F. Divide the one 2 lb animal-cracker supply among 2–3 large rimmed baking sheets or roasting pans, with enough space to stir the crackers without spilling.

   Step 2: Make one coating-syrup batch. Melt the ½ cup butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Add the ⅓ cup sugar and 1 tsp sea salt and stir until dissolved. Remove from the heat, then stir in the ⅓ cup light corn syrup and ¼ cup vegetable oil until evenly mixed.

   Step 3: Drizzle the one complete prepared coating-syrup batch evenly over all the crackers across the prepared pans. Stir gently so each cracker is lightly coated; distribute the same syrup batch between the pans rather than making another batch for each pan.

   Step 6: Let the baked crackers cool completely in their pans, stirring every few minutes as they cool to prevent clumps. They may feel soft while warm but will become crisp as they cool. Only once completely cool, transfer the actual finished batch to airtight containers and enjoy as snacks.
