Spicy Ranch Crackers

Here’s a more detailed version of the addictive cracker recipe:

Spicy Ranch Crackers

Ingredients:

• 1 box of saltine crackers (or 1 box of mini saltines, if preferred)
• 1 cup of vegetable oil
• 2 tablespoons of crushed red pepper flakes (adjust to your spice preference)
• 1-2 teaspoons of garlic salt (I recommend using coarse ground garlic salt with parsley for extra flavor)
• 1 package of dry Ranch Dressing Mix

Instructions:

1. Prepare the seasoning mixture:
   In a medium-sized mixing bowl, combine the vegetable oil, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic salt, and dry Ranch dressing mix. Whisk everything together until well blended. If you like a bit more heat or garlic flavor, feel free to add a little extra red pepper flakes or garlic salt to taste.
2. Add crackers to a bag:
   Place the entire box of saltine crackers (or mini saltines) into a large, resealable plastic bag. A gallon-size bag works best for this. Ensure all crackers are inside and the bag is large enough to shake the contents without spilling.
3. Coat the crackers:
   Pour the seasoning mixture over the crackers inside the bag. Seal the bag tightly, leaving a bit of air inside to help with mixing.
4. Mix the crackers thoroughly:
   Turn the bag around in every direction—shake it up, flip it, and gently massage the bag to ensure all the crackers are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture. Continue this process for a couple of minutes to get even coverage.
5. Let the flavors absorb:
   Once the crackers are coated, let the bag sit for at least an hour, turning it occasionally. This will allow the oil and seasonings to fully absorb into the crackers, making them incredibly flavorful and crunchy.
6. Enjoy:
   After the seasoning has soaked in, the crackers are ready to enjoy. They’re perfect for snacking on their own or paired with dips.

Note:
Feel free to customize the amount of red pepper flakes and garlic salt according to your taste. These crackers can be stored in an airtight container to stay fresh and crispy for days—though they might not last that long because they’re so addictive!
