    Sriracha Firecracker Oyster Crackers pack a whole lot of punch into an itty-bitty cracker. Serve them whenever you want to make a lasting impression with a big POP of flavor!

    Parties and gatherings call for snacks and munchies that pair well with all kinds of beverages. Some of my other favorites (both sweet and savory) are Everything Bagel Chips, Cinnamon Praline Pretzels, Homemade Corn Bread Crackers, and Browned Butter Roasted Nuts.

    Why this recipe works:

    These hot and sweet Sriracha firecracker snackers will be a hit at your next tailgating event or your next party.

    They're incredibly easy to make and take only a handful of ingredients that you probably already have in your pantry and fridge.

    After he gets home from work, my husband likes a little something crunchy to munch on to take the edge off before dinner. I made these Sriracha Firecracker Cracker Snackers with him in mind, and he absolutely loves them.

    Because these snacker crackers have a bit of sweetness (thanks to the honey) along with the heat (hello sriracha), these little cruncher munchers are completely addicting making them the perfect accompaniment for some nice cold beer (or two) while watching your favorite team. Winning!!

    My full length YouTube video for making Sriracha Firecracker Oyster Crackers:

    How long does this recipe take from start to snacking?

    How can one little cracker pack so much punch? You'll have to make these Sriracha Firecracker Snackers and find out for yourself...Go on...make them now...I'll wait.

    It will only take you about 15 minutes.

    Can these crackers be made in an air fryer?

    You bet.

    Add them to the basket of your air fryer and cook at 350 degrees Fahrenheit for 5-7 minutes, stir and return to the air fryer for an additional 1-2 minutes if needed. Once the crackers cool, they'll become more crunchy.

    Another use for these delicious hot and spicy crackers:

    I have one other suggestion for you regarding these crackers. They're also perfect as a topping for chili or soup so don't forget to set a few aside for that purpose. That is, of course, if you can stop munching on them long enough to remember that!  😉

    For other crunchy snack recipes:

    • Parmesan Fennel Crackers
    • Everything Bagel Chips
    • Cinnamon Praline Pretzels

        Hi, Gayle!
        As you can see from the photos, they're small saltine crackers that many people put into soup.
        You can find them in the cracker aisle where the saltines are.

      400 degrees is way to high. Burnt the whole lot before I knew it.

        So sorry to hear that, Kim.
        I know 400-degrees is high, but for only 10 minutes they shouldn't have burned.
        🙁

      These are so yummy... but at 400 for 7 minutes, most were burnt on the bottom side before I could even turn them... I will do them again at 350. And probably use maple syrup instead of honey (just my preference of sweetness)

        Hi, Joan!
        Glad you liked the flavor and I think it's brilliant to use maple syrup next time if that's what you like.
        Question for you, do you use a convection oven? I do not so I'm wondering if that may be the cause of the burned bottom.
        In any case, turning down the oven is a smart idea if that's what works for you.
        Thanks and take care,
        Renee

      Oh man, these do look perfect for munching! I can definitely see myself mindlessly eating them while I'm watching the game and drinking a cold beer (that's a good thing in this case). 😉

      I've been seeing different varieties of these firecrackers all over Pinterest for a while now and they all look delicious! But I especially like your combination of seasonings, Renee. A little sweet, a little heat, a little cheese, and some of my favorite herbs. Yummy!
