If you are looking for a quick and easy snack recipe for your next party, these Spicy Hot Saltine Crackers are sure to be a crowd pleaser.
These spicy saltines go by a few different names: Alabama Fire Crackers, Comeback Crackers or as we like to call them, Kickin’ Crackers. No matter what you call them, it’s a perfect party snack.
I first came across a similar recipe on Pinterest. I was desperate to find a quick and easy snack to bring to a family party. Per usual, I waited until the last minute to figure out what I was going to bring.
I am not the type to spend hours in the kitchen whipping up an elaborate side dish to share at a family party. I’ll leave that up to the other ladies in my family who are much more capable! To my surprise, the crackers ended up being a hit and were especially enjoyed by the spicy snack lovers.

Ingredients For Spicy Hot Saltine Crackers
There are only 4 simple ingredients for this recipe.
1.) Canola Oil
2.) Crushed Red Pepper
3.) Saltines
4.) Hidden Valley The Original Ranch Salad Dressing and Seasoning Mix
Note: There was one occasion where I substituted the saltines with RITZ crackers. Because RITZ crackers are buttery, after a day or so, the crackers seemed to soften up too much and their texture became a bit spongy.
