Ingredients
- 6 cups Chex cereal (corn or rice, or a mix of both)
- 2 cups Mini pretzel twists
- 2 cups Cheese crackers
- 1 cup Roasted peanuts
- 0.5 cup Butter
- 1 packet Ranch seasoning mix
- 0.5 teaspoon Garlic powder
- 0.5 teaspoon Onion powder
- 0.25 teaspoon Dried dill
- 0 Vegetable oil spray (optional, for additional crispness)
Directions
Step 1
Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
Step 2
In a large mixing bowl, combine Chex cereal, pretzels, cheese crackers, and roasted peanuts. Stir well to ensure an even mix.
Step 3
Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl or small saucepan. Once melted, stir in the ranch seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, and dried dill until fully combined.
Step 4
Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the snack mix in the large bowl. Gently toss everything together with a spatula, ensuring all ingredients are evenly coated with the seasoning mixture.
Step 5
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or foil, then spread the snack mix out evenly into a single layer.
Step 6
Bake the snack mix in the preheated oven for 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even toasting and prevent burning.
Step 7
Optional: For extra crispness, lightly mist the snack mix with vegetable oil spray before the final 15 minutes of baking.
Step 8
Once baking is complete, remove the snack mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
Step 9
Transfer the cooled snack mix into an airtight container or zip-top bags for storage. It can be enjoyed immediately or stored for up to a week.
