    • Here's another version with pretzels. I may have even put some Smitty's in these . They keep very well and they are good.

        Good to know Rich - I was wondering what was going on I like a little heat but that got downright hellacious HOT! On second look I may have used too much for 1/2 or 3/4 batch to begin with...

          it looks like you may have doubled the crushed red pepper for the size of batch you made, and you have some hot crushed red pepper to begin with.

          I looked up the typical heat of crushed red pepper, and this link says that 50 is the upper end of heat with 15-30 much more common.

          From this webpage

          Again, it depends on the chilies used in the mix, but with cayenne being a typical staple, you’ll get a heat somewhere in the 30,000 to 50,000 Scoville heat unit range. That’s 6 to 10 times hotter than a normal jalapeño on the Scoville scale. Depending on the quantity of cayenne used and the other chilies in mix, the heat unit range for typical commercial hot pepper flakes can be lower, too – 15,000 to 30,000 SHU is often the case.

              Ok - went for another batch of these: Once again (2) sleeves saltines and the rest of the box of large cheeze-its.

              3/4 C. OO & 1/4 C. butter (going to increase this 1-1/4 C)
              (2) TBSP MHHW, ranch packet,
              (1) TBSP MHGP,
              (1) tsp. Smitty's

              No ground red pepper flakes this time Heck of a lot milder but I think I'll go with 1/2 TBSP pepper flakes next time just to kick up the heat a bit and it would be real close to most of the other posts. Might try some ground chipotle peppers as well and a variety of crackers.

              • I have found that if I run the crushed red pepper through the spice grinder a little, it works better and is more evenly distributed on the crackers. Not enough to make powder, just want to break it into smaller pieces.

                  • Guy at work came in with a giant bag of those yesterday...he previously tried mine and loved the hot whang and smitty's combo so much that he bought those two spices just for making these crackers. Yup...they were GOOD!!

                    • If there is anybody out there who has *NOT* tried these, you just don't know what you are missing. Super easy to make, and OMG they will be the hit of any party or office group you take them to. You can dial up the heat or dial it back as desired by the amount or type of pepper spice you use so it can be tweaked for any audience as needed.

                      Thanks for posting this years ago and bumping the thread. It is Redneck Bar Firecracker season again!!!!

                            Unfortunately, there is...in keeping with the year so far... no Smitty’s for 2020. I feel he will be back with a vengeance for the New World Order.
