With Christmas right around the corner, I am always thinking of new food and gift ideas.
I love to use my Crock-Pot all year long but especially during Thanksgiving and Christmas. So I decided to make a big batch of spicy crackers to serve as a snack this Thanksgiving and then package up as gifts for my family. Toasting these crackers in the Crock-Pot not only saved time but also made the room smell amazing! I call these delicious snacks Fire Crackers!
Check out the recipe video here.

- 1/2 tsp garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire

For these Fire Crackers you can use just about any cracker or cereal you like. Mini pretzels, goldfish, and nuts would also be tasty. I chose my daughter’s favorite club crackers and then added cheese crackers and saltines.

I never thought about using a crock-pot for this. Great idea!
I think my husband would love this. Might be a tad bit spicy for our kids. Oh well – more for us!

Just when I thought I had no other use for my crockpot. This recipe sounds good but I thought hey, why not add some peanuts and pretzels to the mix. Turned out excellent.
