Paige’s Kitchen: Firecrackers

GAINESVILLE, Fla. (WCJB) - A stroll down the cracker aisle in your grocery store can be overwhelming. Today you will find hundreds of flavors, sizes and textures. Tonight, we will focus on an old-time favorite cracker, the saltine. Once you take a bite, I guarantee you will be back for more. Enjoy!

Ingredients

• 16 oz. box of saltine crackers
• 1 tsp. garlic powder
• 1 tsp. onion powder

• 4 Tbsp. (about 2 packages) Hidden Valley ranch dressing mix
• 3 Tbsp. red pepper flakes
