The Legend of the Texas Firecrackers® crackers begins with the Cherokee Indian who had a hot cornbread called tus-ya-ga which they introduced to Sam Houston during the time he lived among them. It is said that Gen. Sam fed his army of 910 pioneers these hot crackers before routing the over 2000 troops of Santa Anna in 18 minutes at San Jacinto and winning Texas independence.

The name Firecrackers was first coined at the famous Log Cabin Saloon in Spindletop during the oil boom of 1901, where it was not Saturday night unless someone got shot. The hot crackers were a favorite among the mostly Texas crew of the Battle Ship Texas during WWII where they earned their current pronunciation "FARR-Cracker."

Texas Firecrackers® became the favorite snack of some of the NASA Astronauts while living in Houston, and have been contraband on a few space flights and possibly one trip to the Moon. We offer you this "Little Taste of Texas" in hopes that you find yourself repeating the words Texans have echoed for years, "They're hot, but darn good...can I have another?"
