This recipe has been around for a while, but just in case someone missed it, here it is:

World's best snack crackers

1 pkg hidden valley ranch dressing (dry)
1/2 tsp cayenne pepper

Place crackers in 10 X 13 tupperware container with lid.
Drizzle the oil mixture over the crackers.
Secure lid and Flip back and forth a few times to distribute the seasoning.

Stan, those are great I love them. We do some things a little different. But they are basically the same. Good post. CF

Stan here is my take on the crackers. CF

1 Ritz low salt crackers (4 sleeves)
1 cup canola oil
1 pkg hidden valley ranch dressing (dry)
2-3 T. red pepper flakes
1/2 tea. onion powder
1/2 tea. garlic powder
Option. 1 package of powered cheese from the mac and cheese box.

I put all the ingredients in a 2 gal zip lock bag, mix well, add crackers and tumble for 5-6 min. Pour onto a large cookie sheet,spread out and place in 350° oven for 5 min. stir heat for another 5 min. remove to cool.
The heat causes the oil to go into the crackers and keeps the spice in place.

CF: Thanks for the recipe. I have copied and saved it.
Kind of afraid to try it; if they are any better than the ones I already make I might founder.
