ingredients
- 1 lb unsalted saltine crackers (4 sleeves)
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1⁄2 teaspoon garlic powder
directions
- Line crackers on ends (like dominoes) in an air-tight container.
- In a small bowl, mix oil, dressing mix, peppers, and garlic powder.
- Stir until all ingredients are well mixed.
- Continue to stir to prevent the pepper from settling on the bottom of the bowl.
- Spoon mixture evenly over crackers, like drizzling icing on a cake.
- Close lid tightly and flip the container over every 5 minutes for about 20 minutes. Lightly shake back and forth to make sure all the crackers are coated.
- Store in a ziplock bag. Will keep for about a week -- if they last that long!

I serve these with a cheese ball and they disappear fast, every time I make them! I use the buttery club crackers and once they are coated well, I bake them at 250 degrees for 10-20 minutes (depends on your oven) flipping them over once. This helps to seal in the flavor and keep them fresh a little longer (that is, if there are any leftover!)

Unless you want to serve these with a cheese ball, it is much easier to make with oyster crackers: in a large bowl, mix 1/2 cup salad oil, 1 (1oz.) packet Hidden Valley Ranch Salad dressing Mix and a 12-16 oz. oyster crackers. Stir frequently for about 10-15 minutes until the crackers absorb oil/salad dressing mixture. These are addictive.

I have been making this for years however I use pretzels, oyster crackers, rice chex (or any kind you like) and peanuts. Add cayenne pepper to the oil. I base the amount of cayenne by the color of the oil for heat. I also let mine sit upside down overnight. It's always the snack mix that is requested at parties.
