Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 30 servings

  • 1 ½ cups canola oil

  • 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes

  • 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix

  • 1 tablespoon chili powder

  • 1 (16 ounce) package Whole Wheat Saltine Crackers

Directions

  1. Whisk canola oil, crushed red pepper flakes, ranch dressing mix, and chili powder together in a bowl.

  2. Divide crackers evenly into two 1-gallon-sized sealable bags. Pour oil mixture evenly over crackers; seal the bags and flip to allow oil mixture to run over the crackers for 5 minutes; flip again. Repeat the flipping every five minutes to evenly coat the crackers for about 1 hour.

  3. Remove crackers from the bags and spread onto large platters. Allow to sit, 8 hours to overnight before serving.
