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.
Crock-Pot Fire Crackers
Makes a large bowl full
Ingredients
- 7 oz box Cheez-Its crackers
- 11 oz box Mini Saltines crackers {I used 3/4}
- 11 oz box Mini Butter crackers {I used 3/4}
- 1/2 cup butter melted
- 1/2 tsp garlic
- 1 1/2 tsp seasoning salt
- 1/2 tsp onion powder
- 1/4 tsp cayenne powder
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire
- 1 tbsp Tabasco
Instructions
- Coat the inside of a Crock-Pot with nonstick spray.
- In a small bowl, whisk together Worcestershire, Tabasco. and seasonings.
- Pour the crackers in the Crock-Pot and pour the mixture on top of the crackers.
- Drizzle with the melted butter. Toss to coat evenly.
- Cover and cook on low for 1 1/2 hours, stirring every 30 minutes for even cooking and to prevent burning.
- Pour into a bowl and serve warm or at room temp.
Notes
*I have also used Tony Chachere's Cajun Seasoning or Old Bay Seasoning in place of the spices.
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 had this for the first time over the summer while in Alaska, it was so good. Very easy to throw together.
I had no idea you could make something like this in a Crock Pot! I'll have to try it- looks good!
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!
This sounds like my kind of snack! I never in a million years would have thought they were made in the slow cooker — how cool! I might be making these this weekend ;0
Never heard of this before but looks and sounds very interesting…..thanks for sharing!!
