This recipe is an easy and quick recipe to make. It’s a very addicting snack too! If you are calorie counting (You’re not supposed to during Holiday Season) then you should limit your snack to only 4 crackers. These are just like Lay’s Potato Chips, you just can’t eat just one!
This is a short video of me making these scrumptious!
Ingredients
1 1/3 cup oil (can be any light oil)
2 tablespoons crushed Red Pepper
1/2 teaspoon Garlic Powder
1 package dry Ranch Dressing Mix
3 sleeves salted Saltine Crackers
Directions
Put crackers in a large plastic bag and set aside. You can use regular saltine crackers, I prefer to use the salted crackers, but if you are cutting down on sodium, then you can use the unsalted crackers.
In a bowl, mix oil, (I use Peanut Oil, and sometimes Olive Oil, the different oils add a little different flavor) red pepper, garlic powder, and ranch dressing. I use a large glass measuring cup so I can pour easier over the crackers.
Pour oil mixture over crackers and turn bag carefully several times.
You don’t want to break the crackers, so turn gently.
I then several more times, turn the bag over so that all the oil is absorbed by the crackers.
Store in airtight ziplock bags.

Oyster crackers are a little more expensive but we prefer to use them with this recipe. Give them a try.
Hi, sounds good, but , you dont bake them? What keeps them from becoming soggy and falling apart?

We don’t bake them when we make them—but, as I said we use the Oyster crackers. Around here they don’t have time to get soggy before they’re all gone.
Also, we store them in a Tupperware container with tight lid.
If you use fat free crackers, they never get soggy! Yay!
Stepped it up by using Trinidad Moruga Scorpion peppers for the red chili. Great idea for a snack, thank you.
I made them and they are very good, but shouldn’t they be refrigerated?
No need to refrigerate…it would congeal the oil…a little…
