Prep Time15 minutes
Cook Time1 hour
Total Time1 hour 15 minutes
Servings: 16 servings

Ingredients

  • 1 12 oz bottle popcorn oil
  • 1 1 oz package ranch dip mix
  • 1 14 oz box Wheat Chex
  • 1 7.5 oz original Bugles
  • 1 6.6 oz bag cheddar Goldfish
  • 1 12.4 oz box White Cheddar Cheez-Its
  • 1 9 oz bag oyster crackers

Instructions

  • Preheat the oven to 250°F (120°C).
  • In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the popcorn oil and ranch dip mix; stir until blended.
  • Heat the oil and ranch mixture in the microwave for about 2 minutes, then stir and set aside.
  • Place the Wheat Chex, Bugles, Goldfish, Cheez-Its, and oyster crackers in a very large mixing bowl or roasting pan and stir to combine evenly.
  • Drizzle the warmed oil and ranch mixture over the combined snacks and stir thoroughly until the mix is evenly coated.
  • Spread the coated mix in an even layer across baking sheets (use more than one sheet if needed) and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even crisping.
  • Remove the baking sheets from the oven, spread the snack mix onto wax paper to cool completely, then transfer to airtight containers for storage.

Equipment

Notes

  • Stirring every 15 minutes prevents burning and ensures even coating.
  • Cool completely before storing to keep the mix crisp.
