Ingredients
- 2 cups wheat chex cereal
- 2 cups White Cheddar Cheese Cheese-Its snack brand
- 2 cups oyster crackers
- 2 cups pretzels tiny twists
- 2 cups bagel chips
- ¼ cup butter melted, unsalted
- 3 Tablespoons ranch seasoning or 1 packet, dry
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 300°F.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereal, crackers, pretzels, and bagel chips.
- Pour the melted butter over, stirring while doing so if possible to coat evenly. Very quickly after, sprinkle on the dry ranch seasoning, and stir to coat.
- Spread the mixture evenly across a large rimmed baking sheet. Bake for 17-20 minutes, tossing 2-3 times throughout the cooking process. The goal is to get the mixture toasted and "cook" the butter and seasoning into the crunchy pieces.
Cup of Yum
Notes
- Salt: there's typically no need to add additional salt to this mix. The ranch seasoning (homemade or store-bought) has added salt for flavor, and the crunch-items themselves are salted. If your situation differs and they are unsalted, in that case, I would suggest adding additional salt.
