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
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, cheese crackers, and salted peanuts.
Step 3
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.
Step 4
Pour the butter mixture evenly over the snack mix in the large bowl, tossing gently with a spatula until all the pieces are coated.
Step 5
Spread the coated snack mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it's in a single layer for even cooking.
Step 6
Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to prevent sticking and ensure even toasting.
Step 7
Remove from the oven and let the snack mix cool completely on the baking sheet. The mixture will crisp up as it cools.
Step 8
Once cooled, transfer the snack mix to a large serving bowl or store it in an airtight container for up to one week.
