Spicy Alabama Fire Crackers
Spicy Alabama Fire Crackers is an easy snack recipe with a kick! This makes for a great potluck recipe or party snack!
I’m sneaking in today to ramble on about this amazing, festive, addictive Fire Crackers snack mix! I mean, could it BE any more delicious?
Has anyone ever asked you if you wanted to eat a few fire crackers? Well, now you have. Happy 4th of July holiday weekend!
You know I love all of the 4th of July Recipes, but there’s nothing I love more than a snack with a little bit of a kick. After tasting these bad boys for the first time, I was hooked and knew that I needed the recipe STAT. You can totally adjust the spice to your level of spice handling!
I have taken these Fire Crackers to several potluck functions and they’ve always been a huge ginormous hit. So, if you are looking for something different to take to an upcoming event or party, give these fire crackers a try!
I am a little extra excited than normal for the 4th of July this year – even more so that we have our 3 year old that can fully enjoy the holiday with our family and friends! Although, she’s has a love hate relationship with fireworks.
Ever since I had my daughter, when a holiday pops it’s head around the corner, I am giddy to make all the fun food and decorate my house like I’m a little kid myself. I currently have a 4th of July light-up “Christmas” tree in my kitchen!
Bag ready to be shaken to make the Spicy Alabama Fire Crackers recipe
My mantle is also completely decked out with lights and stars. We are basically living in red, white and blue over here. Nothing wrong with a little patriotism, am I right?
What are your plans for the 4th this year? Let me know what you’re making below.
You can also make this Sweet & Salty Halloween Chex Mix or Cupid’s Crunch Chex Mix and just use Red, White, and Blue M&M’s. There is no need to be fancy here!
Tip: These crackers are spicy as hell with the amount of crushed red pepper flakes I use. For a less spicy snack, halve or omit the crushed red pepper flakes! Thank me later!
- 1.5 Tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
- 1.5oz spicy (or regular) ranch dressing mix
- ½ tsp garlic powder
- ½ tsp onion powder
- ¼ tsp freshly ground black pepper
- 1 11oz box premium mini saltines
- ¾ cup canola oil
- In a small bowl, combine the crushed red pepper flakes, spicy ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, onion powder and freshly ground black pepper until fully combined.
- Put the mini saltines into a gallon zip top bag. Pour the canola oil in the bag and seal the top. Gently shake to distribute the oil onto all of the crackers.
- Open the top of the bag and sprinkle in the seasoning mix. Seal the bag again and gently shake until all crackers are fully coated.
- Empty the contents of the bag into an air-tight container. Allow to sit for at least 1 hour before serving.
- ● These crackers are quite spicy. For a less spicy dish, halve or omit the crushed red pepper flakes.
I do like salty and spicy. And snacks, too, of course. 🙂 This is perfect for me! Thanks.
Thanks for the recipe.
