Hot Crackers With Fiesta Dip

Recipe #276400 | 3 days | 10 min prep | add private note

If you like hot and spicy...I am not kidding when I say these things are AMAZING! A co-worker made loads of these at Christmas, and I believe I ate my weight in them! I was very surprised by the way these are made after getting her recipe. A few important notes - Do not substitute regular Ritz for the whole wheat, they will not turn out the same for some reason. And the Fiesta Ranch packets can be a bit hard to find, depending on where you live, Food Lion always has it in stock. Make sure you marinate the full 3 days...my friend said the longer they sit, the better they are, but I cant seem to wait past the 3 days. Hope you enjoy these as much as I do!

These were pretty tasty and got really great reviews at a family gathering. I made 2 batches, one as written, and another batch without the red pepper flakes (for those who can't handle the heat). Both were great!

    I made these this week for a Christmas party at work. I had them sitting on the kitchen counter and dh had to have one. He liked them but said they were plenty warm. I got rave reviews and many requests for the recipe. The fiesta dip mix was very good as well. We were dipping everything in it. Didn't have any trouble finding it. Thanks.

    Made these for the office Christmas Party and they were a hit! Food Lion was the only grocery store I could find the Fiesta Ranch dip. Will make again. Thank you for the recipe.
