Ranch Snack Mix
Modified from Lick The Bowl Good
3 cups cheddar crackers
3 cups pretzels
2 cups oyster (soup) crackers
1 cup unsalted peanuts
1/2 cup butter, melted
1 tsp Worcestershire sauce
1 envelope (3 Tbsp) Ranch dressing mix.
Preheat oven to 250 degrees F. Combine crackers, pretzels, and peanuts in a large bowl. Combine melted butter, Worcestershire and ranch dressing mix. Pour over cracker mixture, tossing to coat.
Place all crackers in a shallow roasting dish. Bake 60 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. Remove and allow to cool before serving. Store in an airtight container.
My Notes:
Regarding the choice of crackers: I remember seeing a recipe a while ago in which you toss oyster crackers in oil and some seasoning, and they supposedly are like crack. So I bought them do basically do that. Then I stumbled across this recipe, and decided to give it a shot. It's similar to Chex mix, but with different cracker base and ranch flavoring. Still, you can really use whatever you want. The original recipe focuses on goldfish crackers. I went with more of a Cheez-it cracker. Mix and match to meet your preferences.
It's really good. You won't regret it.
