Easy Cheesy Ranch Snack Mix

By Marybeth Feutz 1 Comment

Snack mixes are so much fun to make – and to eat! Where else can you grab a little bit of all your favorite things, mix them together, and call it a recipe? This Easy Cheesy Ranch Snack Mix is exactly what it sounds like, and your whole family will love it!

We love cheesy chips and crackers. So it seemed like the perfect idea to mix all our favorite savory and cheesy snacks in with some other crackers and pretzels. Top it off with some ranch dressing mix, and this snack mix is practically heaven!

I love shopping for these snack mixes. I’ll just stroll up and down the cracker aisle and the chip aisle, and grab anything that looks good to me on that trip. So these snack mix recipes have a habit of changing a little bit every time, depending on what kind of mood I’m in at the grocery store.

There are two things you’ll need to make this snack mix, no matter what you choose to make it with. You’ll need a small glass bowl to melt the butter in the microwave (I like a 1-cup glass measuring cup like these). And you’ll need a microwave-safe bowl that’s big enough to hold all the snack mix and give you room to stir. The biggest bowl in this set is the perfect size.

Toss the cracker mix with a buttery ranch dressing mix, microwave it for a few short minutes, and you’re ready to snack!

We went with Pretzel Crisps, Chili-Cheese Fritos, Nacho Cheese Doritos, Cheez-Its, Crunchy Cheetos, and Premium Mini Saltine Crackers. What else would you put in this Easy Cheesy Ranch Snack Mix?

Enjoy!
