Ingredients

3 Cups Mini Pretzel Twists
3 Cups Bugles
3 Cups Rice Chex
2 Cups Classic Goldfish crackers
2 Cups Cheerios
1/2 Cup Butter melted
6 Tbsp Ranch Seasoning Mix or 2 envelopes of store-bought

Instructions

Preheat oven to 275°F
Place the pretzels, crackers, bugles, and cereals in a large bowl.
Drizzle the melted butter over the mix and stir to combine.
Add the ranch seasoning and stir well making sure everything is coated.
Spread the mix on a parchment-lined baking sheet and bake on the middle rack of the oven for 30-40 minutes, until the mix is dry and slightly toasted, being sure to stir a few times during baking to ensure even cooking.
Remove from oven, allow to cool completely, then store in an airtight container or ziplock bag

Notes

*If your oven tends to run hot, reduce the temperature to 250°F. Or reduce time by 10 minutes. As all ovens run a bit different, keep an eye on it and watch for over-browning and remove earlier if you notice signs of burning.

*If you have a smaller oven or are using the top part of a split oven (that has a smaller top oven and larger bottom), reduce the temperature to 225°. The smaller oven will have the tray closer to the element, which can cause the mix to over-brown.

*If you are using store-bought ranch seasoning I recommend buying the low-sodium option as the pretzels and snacks add enough salt on their own.
