Ingredients

• 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
• 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
• 2 cups Cheerios cereal
• 2 cups Mini pretzels
• 2 cups Cheddar-flavored crackers
• 1 stick Salted butter
• 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
• 1 teaspoon Garlic powder
• 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
• 0.5 cup Grated Parmesan cheese
• 0.5 cup Shredded sharp cheddar cheese

Directions

Step 1

Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or aluminum foil.

Step 2

In a large mixing bowl, combine the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Cheerios, mini pretzels, and cheddar-flavored crackers. Toss gently to mix evenly.

Step 3

In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the stick of butter in 15-20 second increments until fully melted.

Step 4

Stir the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, and onion powder into the melted butter until fully combined.

Step 5

Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the cereal mix in the large bowl. Use a spatula or your hands to gently toss the mix, ensuring all pieces are evenly coated.

Step 6

Sprinkle the grated Parmesan cheese over the top and toss again to distribute it evenly.

Step 7

Spread the coated mix onto the prepared baking sheet in an even layer.

Step 8

Bake in the preheated oven for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting.

Step 9

After baking, remove the Chex mix from the oven, sprinkle the shredded sharp cheddar cheese on top while it’s still warm, and let it cool completely on the baking sheet.

Step 10

Once cooled, transfer the mix to an airtight container or serve immediately. Enjoy the cheesy, ranch-flavored crunch!
