Firecrackers

1 to 1/2 boxes of mini Saltines crackers, unsalted* 
1 c canola oil
2 t crushed red pepper flakes (or to taste)
1 1oz packet Ranch Salad dressing mix

Toss all ingredients in a gallon sized bag, or a very large bowl,  until all the oil has been absorbed.

These are addictive! I made some for a girlfriend getaway a few months ago and they couldn't keep their hands out of the bag.
