FIRE CRACKERS
1 box saltine crackers (the 4 pack size)
1½ cups Canola oil (Do Not Substitute a different kind of oil)
1 package Ranch dressing mix (the powder kind)
2 Tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes (or less if you want it less spicy, I personally don't care for spicy food, but I could not keep my hand out of the cracker jar! :drool WARNING: These are addicting and will go fast!)

Mix together the oil, ranch and pepper

Place crackers in a large container, pour oil mixture over and turn/toss to coat the crackers. Turn/toss crackers every 30 minutes for 2 hours at which time the oil should be absorbed.

I learned from experience, that a flat bottomed container works best as the oil tends to pool in the bottom of one with slanted sides and doesn’t get absorbed as well. You will need a rectangle plastic container with a lid that is approximately 10" w X 14" long X 4" deep. I found the perfect container in the plastic storage box section of Wal-Mart.

Enjoy!

I had these last week end, and they were terriffic. They were made in a large ziplock baggie so they could be turned and turned until the oil was absorbed. Also easy clean up. Throw away empty baggie.

Glad you enjoyed them! They sure go fast at out house. They can also be made with oyster crackers, just reduce the oil to 3/4 cup.
