I have a wonderful recipe that a cousin shared with me, and everwhere I take them, they are a hit. I have a granddaughter in the Marines that is on her way back to the states after her 3rd tour, and every week when I would send a box, this is one thing that everyone wanted. Hope yall enjoy


1 BOX SALTINE CRACKERS
1 2/3 CUP CANOLA OIL
1 PACKAGE DRY RANCH DRESSING
ABOUT 2 TBSP(OR TO TASTE) CRUSHED RED PEPPER

DUMP CRACKERS IN LARGE BOWL.
WISK OTHER INGREDIENTS TOGETHER AND POUR OVER CRACKERS. I TAKE AN EGG FLIPPER AND JUST START FLIPPING THE CRACKERS UNTIL ALL OIL IS ABSORBED.

Then what do you do ? Wont they be soggy crackers do you cook them or something? Lost in TENN. Becky

These are great with a salad or just with a glass of iced tea. They are not soggy.

I put the crackers in a gallon jar and pour the mixture over the crackers and roll the jar until all the mixture is absorb and store them in the jar. Barbara

these things are FINEEEEEE!!!!!!

I thought all would enjoy. They are one of the easiest thing I have ever found to do. Before I retired, I would stop by WalMart and pick up stuff, then before I got them finished, folks were by my desk. We did not even wait until they absorbed the oil!!!

Try them with York Mint Patties!!!

We use Oyster crackers and put in a ziplock bag and shake. I guess I am lazy.

I use oyster crackers too!

Try them with York Mint Patties!!!


Do what???!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
We love these crackers and I plan to make them for a camping trip next week, but York Mint Patties!!!!

Do you use the whole bag of oyster crackers?

no I usually use 2 bags

YOU mean use 2 bags of the oyster crackers or divide one bag into 2 ziplock bags???
I'm a little confused!! Is this a snack like the "goldfish" crackers?? Is it something I would like to give as a gift to an adult or would children like it too??
Thank you for the idea!

OK my recipe is 2 bags of oyster crackers. I use 1 c orville reddenbachers buttery oil and 1 pouch of the ranch dressing. Then I shake. Sometimes they have time to set and sometimes they don't. If you add the red pepper flakes I don't think that kids will like but maybe. That is entirely up to you. I do put both bags in a large zip bag and shake them in that. They are great hurry and make some you will love and they will be great as a snack gift. We take camping and pass around the fire. We also use the mini pretzels and do the same thing.

I, too, am confused by the comment about trying the York peppermint patties. Would you substitute the patties for the crackers? Then cover in oil and ranch dressing mix? That doesn't sound all that appetizing to me....

You are TOO funny Peggi!!! I think she meant that you have the Peppermint patties afterewards as a mint or breath freshner.

I too was confused, because I thought she meant to put the Peppermint patties into the bag with the oil... This does sound very good!

Don't feel bad, that's what I thought also:) Yuck!!

These are really good! I add garlic to mine, serve them with a pepper jack or sharp cheddar cheese ball. They aren't soggy, the cracker absorbs the oil quickly. They don't last long at our house. My MIL uses oyster crackers too - for a quick snack at work.

Instead of using crackers, I use a bag of pretzels.

My son and I make these crackers. We omit the ranch dressing and increase the amount of crushe red peppers

I'm confussed on the amount of Oil.? Can someone tell me how much? thanks

Believe the amount of oil is adjustable

I use 1 1/2 Cup - and add some ButterBuds to it with the salad dressing mix.

You can also add: garlic powder, onion powder, chili powder, etc. BUT - may not want to combine too many of these

We like the pepper flakes in ours, too.

annienet said that she uses 1 cup of orville reddenbachers buttery oil - and that sounds very good to me - I just haven't been to grocery to buy any yet!

Thank you so much.. I'm off and ready to try these.. wish me luck

WTG jackiejs! My son really likes them - but he doesn't want to make them! Waits for me to visit to bring or make. And he usually has a request for fried green tomatoes, too!

This sounds good but I have two questions. If you use the saltine crackers do you use
all four packages that is in the box and do you use them whole and not break them up?

Also, the red pepper flakes. I have a small bottle I bought in the Spice department.
Is that what you use? I want to make these so bad but I need more instructions LOL.
Thanks
