This homemade ranch snack mix is crunchy, savory, herby, toasty, and completely irresistible. It combines standard pantry snacks like Cheez-Its, pretzels, oyster crackers, and Chex, with melted butter and our homemade chipotle ranch seasoning. An easy, customizable recipe that disappears fast, it blends our love for spicy food with our childhood appreciation for all snacks ranch flavored. And if you're looking for a more substantial snack that's more of a meal, be sure to try our Animal Style Fries with Meat!

Note, these instructions are written assuming the standard serving size, since you have modified the number of servings, these steps may need to be modified for best results

Preheat the oven to 250F and line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a small bowl, mix the dry ranch seasoning ingredients (everything but the butter) and set aside.
Add Cheez-Its, pretzels, oyster crackers, and Chex cereal to a bowl. Gently mix in half of the melted butter and half of the ranch seasoning mix, then repeat with the rest of the butter and dry seasoning until all of the snack mix is well-coated.
Spread the seasoned snack mix on the baking sheet in an even layer. If your baking sheet is too small, you can use a 2nd one lined with parchment paper.
Bake for 15 minutes, then remove from the oven and toss well.
Bake for another 15 minutes, then toss again, and bake for a final 15 minutes. The snack mix should be just slightly toasted and the seasoning should stick on the snacks.
Let the ranch snack mix cool before eating (they will crisp up as they cool).
