This a variation on my favorite Ranch Oyster Crackers. I swapped out the oyster crackers for Cheez-Its and added some red pepper flakes for a little heat. They were fantastic! I love Cheez-Its, so I know I would love them. 

This is super easy to make and can be made days in advance. These can pack a lot of heat, so adjust the red pepper accordingly. I used a lot and they were HOT. I suggest starting with a tablespoon of red pepper flakes and tasting the crackers. You can add more if you are a spicy heat lover.

  1. SO GOOD!!! SERIOUSLY!! Help me….I can’t stop eating them! I went w 1/2 cup melted butter and did closer to 4 or 5 tsp crushed red pepper (my daughter distracted me and I lost count haha). A couple people said too spicy for them but most of us thought they were just right! That’s what’s cool about this, you can easily increase or decrease the heat to your liking by changing the amount of crushed red pepper you add! I will make these for get togethers forever!!! Thank you! 🙂

  2. I just made these using the ranch dressing mix and a Chipotle seasoning mix from Epicure…. They’re supposed to be for stocking stuffers, but I don’t know if they’re going to last til tomorrow!!

  3. I’m gonna love these, I try to buy the Chez-it Grooves, but the store doesn’t always have the flavors I like. I’ve made these before from a recipe my granddaughter gave me, but it used regular saltine crackers and it was hard to make sure the seasoning was on all of them.

  4. I use 1/2 cup butter instead of the oil and use Fiesta Ranch mix and 1 tsp. red pepper flakes. It's just the right amount of "zip" for us. Also, I bake the mix for 1 hour at 250, stirring every 15 minutes. It's no longer oily that way and we like it crisper. It is fantastic; you cannot stop at just one handful!

    1. Did you lay them out on a cookie sheet or are they okay to dump in to like a roaster pan and stir every 15, which is how I do my jalapeno pretzels.

  5. I was looking for fun recipes for Super Bowl Sunday and I found this Cheez-it recipe. I am so happy right now. Thank for sharing

  6. I made these to take to the school where I teach and you would have thought I slaved for days and made the cheez-its from scratch. People went nuts over these! I am making a triple batch to give with my holiday baking gifts this year. This was truly brilliant.

  7. Making a batch of these for my brother in law for Christmas, but thinking about using tabasco cheezits! 🙂 Can't wait to make my test batch this weekend!

  8. These look awesome! I like to make my chex mix in a crock pot – do you think it would work for these also? Can't wait to try them!

  9. What a creative idea and great name!!! As I'm getting older, I find I like my food hotter and hotter. These sound really yummy…and HOT!
