Chex-type party mix, sans nuts would be a good idea!

Or Seasoned Oyster Crackers

1/2 c. corn or neutral vegetable oil
1 pkg. Hidden Valley Ranch dressing mix (not the dip mix)
2 tsp. dried dill weed
1/2 tsp. garlic powder
1 large package (1 lb. box) oysterette crackers

Blend together first four ingredients. Pour over oyster crackers in a
mixing bowl and stir until well coated. Refrigerate (tightly covered) until
ready
to serve.

In the OP's case, she could easily double or triple the amounts and portion
them out in bags. They're very tasty!
