RANCH SNACK MIX



Ranch Snack Mix image

Yummy variation on party mix. For garlic and dill lovers. You can substitute Chex corn or rice cereal for the Crispix - I decide between Chex and Crispix based on what's on sale. NOTE: Based on feedback received, in Jan. 09 I reduced the amount of garlic powder to 1/2 tsp. It is still plenty of garlic flavor but not as overpowering. :)

RANCH SNACK MIX



Ranch Snack Mix image

Capturing the creamy tang of ranch in a dry snack mix can be elusive, but it is possible. Adding vinegar to the melted butter that coats the ingredients in this recipe, and hitting it with buttermilk powder both before and after baking infuses everything with both of those flavor notes.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     appetizer

Time 2h

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/4 cup buttermilk powder
2 tablespoons onion powder
5 teaspoons garlic powder
1 tablespoon dried dill
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
3 cups rice cereal squares
2 cups square white cheddar crackers
2 cups roughly broken salted pita chips
1 cup roasted salted almonds
1 cup sesame sticks
1 1/2 sticks (12 tablespoons) unsalted butter
2 tablespoons apple cider vinegar
2 cups small pretzels (preferably ranch-flavored)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250˚ F. Combine the buttermilk, onion and garlic powders, dill, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoon pepper in a small bowl and whisk to combine.
  • Combine the cereal, crackers, chips, almonds and sesame sticks in a large bowl and toss.
  • Melt the butter in a medium skillet over medium-low heat. Remove from the heat and stir in the vinegar. Pour about half of the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and toss, then pour in the remaining butter mixture and toss again until everything is well coated and there is no butter at the bottom of the bowl. Add half of the spice mix and toss to coat.
  • Spread the cereal mixture on a rimmed baking sheet. Bake, stirring occasionally, until dry, crisp and lightly toasted but not browned, 50 to 60 minutes. Remove from the oven and toss with the pretzels and remaining spice mix. Set aside to cool, stirring occasionally.

PARMESAN RANCH SNACK MIX



Parmesan Ranch Snack Mix image

An extremely easy and fast snack mix recipe, and ready to be munched on in under five minutes. Feel free to mix and match ingredients, tossing in favorite nuts, crackers, or various odds and ends taking up space in your cupboards. A packet of ranch dip mix and a little Parmesan cheese go a long way in making this a crunchy, satisfying, and addictive snack.

Provided by @MakeItYours

Number Of Ingredients 6

2/3 cup canola, vegetable, or olive oil
1 one-ounce packet ranch dip seasoning mix powder (I use McCormick Ranch Dip)
about 4 cups popcorn, popped (2 to 3 tablespoons unpopped kernels)
about 3 1/2 cups pretzels (waffle-style pretzels recommended, I use Snyder's)
1/2 to 1 cup peanuts, almonds, cashews, or favorite nuts or mixed nuts, optional
3 ounces Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps:

  • In a large microwave-safe bowl, add the oil, ranch mix, and stir to combine. Add the popcorn, pretzels, nuts, and optional ingredients (see below). Tip to make popcorn easily - add 2 to 3 tablespoons unpopped kernels to a brown paper lunch bag, fold the top down twice, and heat for about 90 seconds on high power - don't add oil, butter, or anything else, just the kernels.
  • Toss to evenly coat the mixture; it may seem a bit on the oily side, this is okay and it absorbs. Heat on high power for 2 minutes, stopping after 1 minute to toss the mixture because the oil has a tendency to pool at the bottom of the bowl. Add the Parmesan and toss to coat evenly. Serve mix immediately. Mix will keep for up to three days in an airtight container or large ziptop plastic bag; but is best enjoyed same day, noting that cheese has been added and some may wish to refrigerate the mix if storing it longer term.
  • Optional Variations - Can be added instead of or in combination with the other dry ingredients: Coarsely crushed saltines, oyster crackers, Club or Ritz crackers, rye crisps, Asian-style rice crackers, tortilla or potato chips, favorite gourmet or specialty crackers, cashews, almonds, pecans, sunflower seeds, pistachios. For a spicy version, add a pinch of chili powder or cayenne pepper, to taste.
