• 1 box fat-free soda crackers
• 1 (1-ounce) package Hidden Valley Ranch Dressing Mix (approximately 7 1/2 teaspoons)
• 1/2 to 1 cup vegetable or canola oil (adjust based on desired richness)
• 1 Tablespoon garlic powder1 Tablespoon hot pepper flakes

Preparation

1. Mix the Seasoning: In a large mixing bowl, combine the ranch dressing mix, garlic powder, and hot pepper flakes. Stir to distribute the spices evenly.
2. Coat the Crackers: Place the soda crackers in the bowl, then drizzle the oil over them. Sprinkle the seasoning mixture over the crackers, tossing gently to coat them as evenly as possible without breaking.
3. Marinate: Transfer the coated crackers to a tightly covered container. Seal and shake gently to redistribute the oil and seasoning. Let the crackers sit overnight, turning the container occasionally to ensure all the liquid is absorbed.
4. Serve: Once the crackers are fully seasoned and the oil is absorbed, they’re ready to enjoy.

Serving Suggestions
