Easy Ranch Chex Mix
Make this addictive easy, versatile, ranch. Flavored chex party mix for your next gathering; packed with flavor and crunch- “betcha can’t eat just one!”.
Equipment
- 1 large pan or sheet pan for baking the snack mix
- 1 tablespoon utensil for measuring ranch
- 1 spoon for stirring
Ingredients
- 1 stick butter melted
- 2 tbsp ranch seasoning or 1 packet
- 13 cups snack mix chex cereal, gold fish, bugles, pretzels, cheez-its, oyster crackers, sun chips, cashews, etc.
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 F.In a large pot, sheet pan or roaster, measure out 13 cups of party mix of choice. I highly recommend using bugles (nacho cheese is best!) as part of this mix. Mix together well.
- In a bowl, melt 1 stick of butter.Once melted use whisk or fork to whisk the ranch with the melted butter. It is okay if it's kind of grainy- it will go away when mixed well with the party mix. Then, pour over the party mixture. Scrape out any ranch that had sank to the bottom of the bowl and stir that into the mixture.Stir well.
- Put in the oven at 250 F for 45 minutes total, stopping to stir the mixture well every 15 minutes. Remove from oven and store in air tight container for up to several weeks.
Notes
NOTES:
You can use basically any type of crackers or snacks in this recipes.However I highly recommend being sure some of the mixture is bugles. I usually use nacho cheese bugles, regular bugles, cheez-it, pretzels, gold fish, chex mix, oyster crackers. Sometimes I add cashews which are delicious!
