Firecrackers

A coworker handed out seasoned pretzels (a recipe she got from me years ago) and seasoned crackers, I chose the crackers! I think the crackers do need something else for more flavor.  Maybe the same recipe used on the pretzels. 

Mix together:

  • 1 cup Canola Oil
  • Packet of Ranch Dressing (I used Kinders - next time I will use Hidden Valley Ranch brand)
  • 2 TB chili pepper flakes
  • 1 tsp garlic (recipe did not call for this, I added it)

Add crackers to large bowl or containers, pour oil mixture over and mix well, I use a rubber spatula, and stirred occasionally.  

I didn't really measure, there was so much oil, that I kept adding crackers, but the original recipe called for 1 lb crackers - a mix of cheez its, mini saltines, and mini club crackers.  

The recipe called for 2/3 cup of each cracker (NOT ENOUGH crackers). 

I used for sure the following amounts, but added more:

  • 12 oz Mini Club Crackers 
  • 1.5 Cup - Reg Cheez its
  • 1.5 Cup - White Cheddar Cheez its

I still think the crackers are a tad oily, not necessarily greasy, just seem to absorb a lot.  Now to figure out how to make them not so oily.
