Alabama Fire Crackers

While our nephew was in Spokane for a month working with us this summer we went through his Grandmothers Alabama church cookbook.

We had so much fun finding new recipes to make and enjoy. These spicy Alabama fire crackers were one of our favorite recipes from the cookbook.

One of my favorite moments was when our nephew was able to send his grandmother photos making her recipes.

He is going to make some of them for her now that he is back in Alabama. It was really fun being able to teach him family recipes that he can share in the future.

I am so thankful his grandmother said we could work with the recipes and adapt them.

Ingredients

  • Saltine Crackers - unsalted
  • Red Pepper Flakes
  • Dry Ranch Dressing Mix
  • Vegetable Oil/Olive Oil

Oil  You can use vegetable oil, olive oil, canola oil, or your favorite flavored oil.

Garlic Powder - You can add a teaspoon garlic powder to add some more flavor.

Black Pepper - you can add in a sprinkle of black pepper for more flavor.

Equipment Needed

Gallon-Size Ziploc Bags
Measuring Cups
Small Mixing Bowl/Jar

Optional - Ziploc Bag holders
We use Ziploc bag holders to hold open the baggies while we are pouring ingredients into them.

Instructions

We do not use the oven to bake these crackers. They are a no-bake recipe and taste amazing.

You can bake these if you want to but it is not needed.

Step 1 - Unwrap sleeves of crackers and add them to a gallon-size Zip-top bag.

Step 2 - In a small bowl combine oil, red pepper flakes, and dry ranch dressing mix. Stir together.

Step 3 - Pour over the crackers and seal the bag. Shake the baggie so all of the crackers are coated in spices.

Step 4 - Shake every 5-10 minutes for an hour to make sure they are fully coated with the spice mixture.

The longer these crackers sit the better they taste.

Recipe Tips

We store these crackers in the Ziploc bag or in an air-tight container.

You can pre-make the seasoning mix and have it ready whenever you want to whip up a batch of spicy Alabama Firecrackers.

You can use regular size or mini saltines depending on what you enjoy.

If you don't have saltines you can make this recipe with Ritz crackers.

These make fantastic gifts for the holidays or any time of the year.

    These are so good! My SIL makes them regularly and they disappear fast! You can change the quantities of the spices to customize to your liking but as written, YUM!
