  • 2 tbsp red pepper flakes adjust to taste
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

  • 1/2 tsp cayenne pepper optional

  • Add all saltine crackers. Seal and gently flip/rotate to coat evenly.
  • Marinate at room temperature at least 4 hours, flipping every hour. Overnight is best.

Notes

Overnight marinate gives best flavor. Start with 1 tbsp red pepper for mild, 3 tbsp for very hot. Great gifts in mason jars!
