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.
