It's a great party or get together food, which is perfect because they are also very simple to throw together. These little crackers can pack some heat, yet they are pretty darn addictive. I would know.
First off, preheat your oven to 250 degrees. I started off with one stick of butter plus about 2 or 3 tablespoons. On a large baking pan, evenly spread out slices of butter and slip the pan into the oven to melt. Watch this closely, butter begins to burn very quickly! Once the butter is melted, add to your baking pan about 3 tablespoons Parmesan cheese, 2 to 3 tablespoons red pepper flakes, 1/2 packet of Ranch dressing mix, 1 teaspoon of parsley, 1/4 teaspoon garlic salt, 1/4 teaspoon onion powder. This was the point where I just added as I felt it was needed and kinda guesstimated on measurements. This is definitely a "what you like" type of process. Mix the butter and spices well. Add 2.5 cups Cheez-its, 2.5 cups Mini Club crackers, and 2.5 cups Soup and Oyster crackers (or Mini Saltines). Toss the crackers well, coating evenly with the butter mixture. Bake for 30 minutes, pulling the pan out once at 15 minutes to toss the crackers well once again. Allow the crackers to cool and then store in an airtight glass jar.
