Elevate your snacking game with this irresistibly zesty Ranch Snack Mix! A symphony of crunchy textures and tangy flavors, this blend is perfect for parties, game nights, or simply satisfying your cravings.
Preheat the oven to 275 degrees F (135 degrees C). (5 minutes)
In an extra-large bowl, gently combine the crispy corn and rice cereal, pretzels, cheese-flavored crackers, oyster crackers, and peanuts. Aim for a harmonious blend, avoiding crushing any of the components. (5 minutes)
In a separate small bowl, whisk together the vegetable oil, ranch dressing mix, and garlic powder until thoroughly combined and smooth. Drizzle this flavorful mixture evenly over the cereal mixture, gently stirring until each piece is lovingly coated. (5 minutes)
Spread the coated snack mix in a single layer on a large baking sheet. (2 minutes)
Bake in the preheated oven, stirring gently halfway through to ensure even toasting, until the mix is toasted and richly fragrant, approximately 15 to 20 minutes. (20 minutes)
Remove from oven and allow to cool completely on the baking sheet before serving or storing in an airtight container to maintain maximum crunch.
For an extra layer of flavor, try adding a dash of hot sauce to the oil mixture. Feel free to customize the mix with your favorite nuts, seeds, or spices. Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
