Fire Crackers are a seasoned saltine cracker recipe that is simple to make and adds a special touch for your dips and spreads. Such a great recipe!
People always ask me to make these for parties.
They’re great served with an assortment of cheeses-salami-meats-spreads… there are never any leftovers at the end of the gathering!
Now, this is a seasoned saltine cracker recipe but if you like, instead of saltine crackers, you can also use pretzels, oyster crackers, rice chex (or any kind you like) and peanuts.
Multigrain crackers are also good!
I have also used different kinds of dip/dressing mixes successfully. So have fun and get creative!

A very simple little seasoned saltine cracker recipe for an appetizer that can be made up quickly for a party or unexpected guests!
- 1 lb unsalted saltine crackers 4 sleeves
- 1 cup canola oil
- 1 1 ounce packet ranch dressing mix
- 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- Line crackers on ends (like dominoes) in an air-tight container.
- In a small bowl, mix oil, dressing mix, pepper flakes, 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.
- Bake in a 250 degree oven for about 15 to 20 minutes (stirring once or twice during that time).
Store in a ziplock bag. Will keep for about a week -- if they last that long!
Tips And Tidbits About Fire Crackers
These Fire Crackers are definitely not fancy appetizers. Far from it! I mean this is a seasoned saltine cracker recipe! So you don’t have to have fancy serving platters. Use cutting boards, cookie sheet pans, mirrors or even checker or backgammon boards!
If you’re going to serve dips (Like the Knorr Spinach Dip Below) with your Fire Crackers just remember that many dips taste better if made the day before serving!
So don’t hesitate to make that dip a day ahead of time and let those flavors marry together to make your dip even more amazing!
Enjoy!
