Recipe - Fire Crackers

1 lb unsalted saltine crackers
1 cup canola oil
1 oz (1 packet) powdered ranch dressing mix
2 Tbs crushed red pepper flakes
1/2 tsp garlic powder



You have to find a suitable plastic container. Start searching all the food storage containers, Tupperware, Rubbermaid and zip lock tubs you have in your kitchen. You are looking for a short container that can hold as many crackers as possible, in a sealed location. A good lid/seal is important since it will get flipped over. Ideally this container will hold all 4 sleeves, but I have used 2 containers, so don't worry if you have to split it up.

The plan here is to line up the crackers on edge so they are loosely siting like they would in the sleeve and when the container has the lid on and is flipped over, all the crackers stay in place.

After selecting the correct vessel, take the crackers out of the sleeves and line them up in the container(s). See the picture for more help. Don't stack up, only 1 level.



Pour all the ingredients (except the crackers) into a bowl and stir. As you stir, pour the mixture over the crackers. Make sure to get the crackers in the corners and on the edges.

After you have run out of mixture, put the lid on the container(s) tight. Than flip the container(s) over. Every 5 minutes or so, flip the container over again. Again, and again for around 20 minutes. When your patience has run out, and you don't see liquid running down the sides of the container when you flip it over, you're done.



You can put leftovers in a zip lock bag, seal air tight, and they last about a week or so.
