Spicy Hot Saltine Crackers Recipe (Kickin’ Crackers)

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.

Tips For Making These Spicy Hidden Valley Ranch Party Snacks

• Be sure to take the time to thoroughly mix all of the ingredients together. You want everything to be as evenly distributed as possible
• Gently mix the ingredients in a large bowl. You don’t want the crackers to break into a bunch of smaller pieces. A smaller bowl may make the mixing process more difficult.
• Want to soften the kick? They taste great dipped in sour cream!
