Fire Crackers

Seasoned saltine crackers that are simple to make and add a special touch for your dips and spreads at parties. I have had these on several occasions at bachelorette parties and baby showers but was never given the recipe. My sister had them recently at a birthday party, got the recipe, and passed it on to me. Unfortunately, I don't know who to credit for this, but it's certainly a keeper!!! Was initially concerned about the amount of oil, but hey, it's party food, RIGHT? I have used whole wheat crackers and different kinds of dip/dressing mixes successfully so have fun and get creative!

Step-by-step

  • 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!
