How to Make Easy Hot Honey Firecrackers Recipe
Ingredients
Be sure to see the recipe card below for the full listing of ingredients, instructions, notes, and estimated nutritional information.
Crackers – you’ll need about 80 saltine-type crackers. Olive oil – I use extra-virgin olive oil. You can use your favorite neutral-flavored cooking oil. Ranch Seasoning Mix – use my homemade recipe or your favorite store-bought mix Stone House Seasoning – my homemade seasoning blend of salt, pepper, and garlic. Hot Honey – I love to use my homemade hot honey recipe, but you can also use your favorite store-bought brand.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Add the saltines to a large mixing bowl or a 1-gallon ziptop bag. Stir together the olive oil, ranch seasoning, stone house seasoning, and hot honey. Pour the mixture over the saltines and turn them to make sure they are well coated. Allow the saltines to marinate for at least 30 minutes. Arrange the crackers on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake until golden brown, about 15 minutes.
