                                                              Fabulous Crackers

These oil-drenched crackers are sinfully delicious and addicting.  Our friend Andrea brings them to our scrapbooking retreats.  We almost fight for the last few in the bag...usually eaten about 2 am.  I don't have her exact recipe, but here is one I found online.  Now I just need an occasion to make some!

Ingredients:


1 cup of Light-tasting olive oil

1 box of multi-grain saltine crackers

1 package of Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing mix (dry powder package)

1 tbsp of garlic powder

1 tbsp of crushed red pepper flakes or cheyenne pepper


Directions:

1.  Make sure you use "light-tasting" olive oil - regular olive oil has to strong of flavor. Also make sure to use Hidden Valley Ranch "Dressing" mix not the "Dips" mix

2.  In a large tupperware container place entire box of saltine crackers.

3.  In a bowl mix light-tasting olive oil, package of HVR dressing mix, 1 tbsp of garlic powder, and 1 tbsp of crushed red pepper flakes.

4.  Pour mixture over the saltine crackers and seal tupperware container. Continuously flip the container to make sure the mixture evenly coats all the crackers.

Some people bake for 10 minutes or so at 200 degrees.

Makes 33 servings of 5 crackers each.
