Firecrackers

Here is a quick and spicy snack to start the new year! One of the teachers at my school started making them and they are quite tasty.

Firecrackers

Ingredients:
2 sleeves of saltine crackers
1/2 cup canola oil
1 package ranch dressing mix (dry)
3 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes (less if you don't like spicy food)

Directions:
Mix oil, crushed red pepper, ranch dressing mix together. Place saltine crackers in a bowl with a lid or a large zip lock bag. Pour mixture over crackers and turn and shake gently until most of it is spread around on the crackers. If you make them in the morning and turn every hour or so they should be ready to eat in the afternoon. All of the oil, ranch dressing, and crushed red pepper flakes will be absorbed into the crackers.
