Ranch Fire Crackers are not your average snack! Saltines are transformed into something absolutely addictive with just three ingredients and are an excellent addition to a bowl of soup or stew. Don’t let them fool you though, crackers are a favorite for any game day celebration, party or even while you’re watching your favorite show.
I had these crackers several years ago at a party. With my love of all things savory, it was not long before I knew they were destined to become one of my favorite things to munch on. Over the years, I’ve served them at parties, made them for snacking on at the beach, and of course, when there’s a gathering to watch whatever kind of game is on TV. I also serve them with a steaming bowl of soup or stew and they are really great alongside a big helping of chili.
It’s kind of crazy to think that a recipe this simple needs to be written down and shared but trust me, once you make these crackers and share them, you’ll have friends asking you to PLEASE tell them how to make them.
It’s crazy simple that you can turn an average box of saltines into these amazing snacks in under an hour. First, (wink) comes the hard part – open all the sleeves of crackers in the box and put them into a big bowl. Then, mix the ranch seasoning and red pepper flakes into canola oil.
Next, take the “firecracker” mixture and pour it over the saltines. Gently mix with a spoon, about every 5-8 minutes for a total of 20 minutes. That’s it! No baking, no cooking. Lastly, store your savory creation in an airtight container until you’re ready to enjoy them. Just a word of caution…once you start eating them it’s hard to stop, trust me, I know.

Thanks. Donna! Made these before and they are a treat. I forgot what size package of the ranch seasoning to use.
Donya
You are so welcome, Christine! These are wicked good for sure. I use one package of ranch mix or 3 tablespoons of the seasoning in the larger container. I hope this helps.

I’d rather use email address southernborn@att.net since I have access to a printer on that address. Thank you!!! Definite making several of the recipes I’ve seen already!! Glad I found you.

These are definitely addicting! An easy way we make them is to lay the saltines in a long “shoebox looking” Rubbermaid container with a tight fitting lid. Pour the mixture over the top and keep flipping the box over & over. That way everything is all together getting happy!
Jett Whitfield
We make these ALL the time! We lay the saltines in a rectangular container with a tight fitting lid. We then pour the oil mixture all over the crackers and keep flipping the container.
These are addictive! Thanks for sharing the recipe. We also add garlic powder to the mix =)

Do they get soggy
Donya
Hey Nora. Nope, they do not get soggy at all. They are full of flavor and crunchy.
Enjoy!

Kim
Can you use olive oil instead of canola oil?
Donya
Hey Kim.
It will have a heavier flavor but sure, you can use it. Let me know how things turn out.
Have a great day,
