These fire crackers are adapted from a recipe from Sandra Boyd. She made a batch for a party and they were a big hit. I like to make these fiery crackers during football season and top them with a slice of cheese, spread a spoonful of pimiento cheese on top, crumble on top of a bowl of chili or just snack on them plain. I use a big pickle jar to make these and roll the jar around several times to coat all the crackers with the spicy mixture.

Angie I love the glass jar idea. The sleeves are so messy.
It’s so clever and a much better presentation!

Yumm! Experienced these delights at the WTMD RocknRoll Chili Bowl last weekend. These fire crackers are soooo good! I never thought to take box crackers and spice them up. Super clever!
