i found this thought this sounded awesome i have had something similar to this but this sounds a little healthier im going to make this next week . i wonder if i can use olive oil instead and use hummus for a dip ?

Ingredients

* 1 1/2 cups canola oil
* 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper flakes
* 1 (1 ounce) packet ranch dressing mix
* 1 tablespoon chili powder
* 1 (16 ounce) package Whole Wheat Saltine Crackers

Directions

1. Whisk the canola oil, crushed red pepper flakes, ranch dressing mix, and chili powder together in a bowl.
2. Divide the saltine crackers evenly into 2 1-gallon-sized sealable bags. Pour the oil mixture evenly over the crackers. Seal the bag and flip to allow the oil mixture to run over the crackers for 5 minutes; flip again. Repeat the flipping every five minutes to evenly coat the crackers for about 1 hour. Remove the crackers from the bags and spread onto large platters. Allow to sit overnight before serving.

    That sounds so good. I love saltine crackers so much. That is one of the few things that, if I start eating it, I will eat the whole thing in one sitting.
