Ranch Snack Mix

This snack mix is a delicious change from traditional Chex Mix.  The flavorful seasoning gives it a unique twist that keeps you coming back for more.  It was a big hit with my family, and everyone really enjoyed it.  It's the perfect snack for parties, game nights, or anytime you're craving something savory and crunchy. A co-worker of mine made this snack mix for a party at work and he called it Garbage Bag Mix!! 


3 cups Mini Pretzel Twists
3 cups White Cheddar Cheese Crackers 
3 cups Rice Chex
2 cups Goldfish Crackers (or Aldi Turtles) 
2 cups small Oyster Crackers
1/2 cup (1 stick) melted butter
6 TBS Ranch Seasoning Mix (or 2 envelopes of store bought)

Preheat oven to 275F.
Place pretzels, crackers, cereals in a large bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the mix and stir to combine.
Add the ranch seasoning and stir well making sure everything is coated.
Spread the mix on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the mix is dry and slightly toasted, being sure to stir a few times during baking to ensure even cooking.

Remove from oven, allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container of Ziploc bag.

Tips:

As all ovens run a bit different, keep an eye on it and watch for over-browning and remove earlier if you notice signs of burning.

I recommend that you use the recipe for Homemade Ranch Seasoning on this blog.  However, if you are using store-bought ranch seasoning, you should buy the low-sodium option as the pretzels and snacks add enough salt on their own.

Other snack options to use are: Bugles, Cheerios or any other bite size crackers or cereals.
