Think I may have posted this in a different thread (but I can't find it anymore), that I've found the firecrackers taste 10,000% better if I don't use saltine crackers.

For some reason the saltines taste like shit when you add peanut butter & bake 'em. I've switched to Keebler "club" crackers and the result actually takes GOOD, just like peanut butter crackers.

I found using a mortar and pestel to grind the magic ingredient to a fine dust helps increase the kick (maybe even make it taste better). Only takes 30 seconds to do the grinding, and I got a mortar/pestel set at Walmart for under 2 bucks (in the household section).

Also, I didn't know about the steps here about microwaving first or being sure to wrap the firecrackers in foil, yet have had no problems just putting the crackers on a small baking sheet "naked" in the oven. The kick is great as is!
bytors Reviewed by bytors on . How to make plain ol' perfect working firecrackers I did this and it worked like a motherfucker. It's simply the way you SHOULD be making firecrackers but without a single mistake or problem unlike many errors I read in other threads.. which is why I think this is gonna be the most helpful thread for firecrackers. Ingredients: Crackers. The bigger the better. DON'T USE BREAD! Bread absorbs peanut butter exactly the same as to how butter dissolves into bread via toast when you put it in the toaster. You want big crackers because small Rating: 5
