My boss's wife made a batch of these and brought them in to work today. These are great (and simple)
1 box saltine crackers (4 tubes)
1 1/4 cup canola oil
1 package dry Ranch dressing mix
1 TAB crushed red pepper flakes
1 TAB cayanne pepper
Put crackers in a large plastic baggie (2 gallon) You could also use a large tupperware container.
Mix the oil with the seasonings, pour over the crackers. Seal tightly and gently turn the bag or container until the crackers are coated. Let sit about 2 hours - turning occasionally.
We had these served with some home made chili today. What a treat! I'm going to try them with some of the little oyster crackers for snacking on Thanksgiving.

These do sound good, but are they soggy-ish?

These have been posted here before under different names.....They are NOT soggy and they ARE delicious.....I used both saltines and oyster crackers and BOTH were always a hit at parties....I add A LOT more cayenne and pepper flakes though.

We use the wheat saltines. A nice variation. Cheeze-Its work well too.
We use Orville Reddenbakers Popcorn Oil instead of Canola. Better taste to me.

I just bought the stuff to make another batch to send to my son's friend in Iraq. I think the boys will like them. I'm going to use oyster cracker and throw in a couple handfuls of pretzels.
By the way, they are not soggy! Be sure to use canola oil rather than vegetable oil however. The canola is a lot healthier.

LOL I'm kind of thinking the boys in Iraq will NOT be that concerned about some "healthier version". I think they have things that are MUCH MUCH more important to worry about.
Are these guys in there 50's?

You would have to meet Scott....he's a health freak (at the ripe old age of 23). Thankfully their main problem in Iraq these days is fighting boredom! But actually, I mentioned the canola oil just for us old farts here on the message board.
