Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice)
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 1.5 cups Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Salted peanuts
- 4 tablespoons Butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons Ranch seasoning mix
- 3 tablespoons Grated Parmesan cheese
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and salted peanuts.
In a smaller microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter in the microwave. Add the ranch seasoning mix, grated Parmesan cheese, and garlic powder to the melted butter, stirring until well combined.
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix in the large bowl, tossing gently with a spatula until all the pieces are coated.
Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer for even cooking.
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Once cooled, transfer the snack mix to a large serving bowl or store it in an airtight container for up to one week.
