Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chex cereal (mix of Rice and Corn)
- 2 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 2 cups Cheddar crackers
- 1 cup Salted peanuts (optional)
- 1 stick Butter
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoons Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Dried dill weed
Instructions
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, cheddar crackers, and peanuts (if using). Set aside.
In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter by heating it in the microwave in 15-second increments until fully melted.
Stir the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill weed into the melted butter until fully combined.
Drizzle the seasoned butter mixture over the snack mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the mix until everything is evenly coated.
Spread the snack mix out in a single layer on a large baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
Bake the snack mix at 300°F (150°C) for 5 minutes, just to set the flavors and create a slight crispness. Optional: skip baking for a quicker, softer version.
Remove from the oven and let it cool completely before serving or storing. This helps the flavors meld together.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to one week. Perfect for parties, game nights, or as an on-the-go snack!
