- 6 tablespoons butter
- 2 tablespoons ranch seasoning mix
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder

Preheat your oven to 300°F (150°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the cheese-flavored crackers, mini salted pretzels, and toasted pecans. Set aside.
In a small saucepan over low heat, melt the butter. Once melted, stir in the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and cayenne pepper until fully combined.
Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the cracker mix and gently toss until all pieces are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven for 20 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure everything cooks evenly.
Remove the tray from the oven and immediately sprinkle grated Parmesan cheese over the hot mix. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
