Ranch Crackers

(from cokerlj’s recipe box)

These are really good…people always ask “What in the world are these crackers made with?!”
They keep for a really long time, but they won’t last that long.
Sounds like they would be really soggy…but the crackers absorbs it all…also you can adjust the amount of cayenne pepper used to your personal preference.
Serve like you would serve any other snack crackers or chips.

Ingredients

  • 1 box saltine crackers
  • TIP: There are all kinds of crackers you can use such as the new mini crackers. Whatever you choose you need 16 oz/1 pound. We especially like the new mini club crackers, I use two 11 oz. boxes and slightly adjust the amount of ranch and oil.
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 package dry Ranch dressing mix
  • 1/2 tablespoon cayenne pepper
  • (original recipe called for 1 tablespoon cayenne, this is real spicy so I just add 1/2 tablespoon...you can always add more if you wish)

Directions

  1. Mix together the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix and cayenne pepper with a wire whisk.

  2. Dump the entire box of regular saltine crackers into a large Tupperware type container.

  3. Drizzle the oil/dressing mix over the crackers, using all of it.

  4. Place the lid on the crackers and turn over and over the container until all the crackers are lightly coated. You might have to go back and do this several times during the first day.

  5. Ready to eat the next day…keeps well too.
