Spicy Ranch Crackers

This recipe belongs to a friend of mine, and it is absolutely delicious! Totally simple to make, too!

Spicy Ranch Crackers

Prep time: 5 minutes. Whole process: 1 hour

Ingredients:

• Big box of saltine crackers (the kind with 4 packages)
• 1.25 cup of canola or vegetable oil (stay away from olive. it leaves a funny flavor)
• 1 packet of dry ranch mix (not wet dressing)
• 1-2 Tablespoons of red pepper flakes (depending on how spicy you like
• a square 8x8 tupperware container with lid

Directions:

Fill the tupperware container with the saltine crackers.  have them standing up vertical and tight, like sardines, not laying down.  Like this --> [|||||||], not like this --> [ __ __ __ ].
In a pourable measuring cup, mix together the oil, ranch and red pepper flakes.  Slowly pour the mixture over all the crackers.  It's ok that the flakes sit on top instead of in.
Put the lid on and let the crackers sit for 15 minutes.  After 15 minutes, flip the container upside down and wait another 15 minutes.  Do this for one hour--you will have flipped 4 times when it is done.
Enjoy!

And thanks April and Mom for the recipe!
