Well, my goodness me! There’s good and then there’s crazy good. These Fire-Eater Saltines are definitely crazy good. A good healthy amount of spicy kick on a crunchy yummy cracker. That’s all you’ll need, trust me. Yes, you could slather a bit of cream cheese on them too, but I found them addicting enough just as they are.
There’s really no need to make just a single batch of Fire-Eater Saltines because a lil ole sleeve just isn’t going to be enough, that’s for sure! And if you don’t like the heat, just substitute your favorite (milder) seasoning.

Oh wow these homemade Cheezit crackers were great! And what fun to make! This was the perfect project on a very cold winter’s day. What’s better than something that’s fun to make and has the added bonus of being fun to eat?
These homemade Cheezit crackers taste just like the ones you buy in the store. Next time, I’m going to add some Creole seasoning to give them some kick! Or, maybe I’ll make my Cheez-It-alianos!
You’ll want to use a pastry wheel when cutting the crackers. I picked one up for cheap off Amazon. It’s a fun little toy!
I highly recommend that you shred or grate your own cheese at home. Don’t buy the pre-shredded or pre-grated stuff. It has stuff added to it to keep it from sticking together. That ‘stuff’ affects how the cheese melts. Shred it yourself and use the good stuff.
Combine the cheeses, garlic powder, butter, and salt in a mixer using the dough paddle. The dough will be very crumbly.
Mix in the flour and slowly add in the water (make sure you use very cold water!) until the dough is the consistency of a pie dough.
Divide the dough into halves and form into discs. Wrap in plastic wrap and place in the fridge for at least 30 minutes.
Preheat oven to 375 F.
Place dough on parchment paper or silicon mat and roll out to a 1/8″ thickness. Try to make the dough as square as possible. Using a pastry wheel, cut the dough into 1″ squares. Poke a hole in the center of each square with a toothpick and transfer to un-greased baking sheets.
Bake 10-15 minutes or until puffed up and golden brown. Remove to cooling racks and sprinkle with additional salt if desired.
These little herbed wonton crisps are beyond easy to make and they pack a lot of flavor. They’re very light so you can eat a good handful or two and not feel guilty about it. You can make them several different ways, so they’re great for parties!
I’ve made these wonton crisps with herbs, Creole seasoning, salt and fresh cracked pepper… Use whatever you have on hand.
I love making easy treats. You’ll find me making flavored oyster crackers and pretzel bites on a regular basis. I’ll make a big batch and let my wife take them into work to share with her co-workers.
