Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 2 cups Crispix cereal
- 2 cups mini pretzels or sticks (I like using the Dot’s brand for extra flavor)
- 2 cups white cheddar Cheez-Its crackers
- 1 cup mixed nuts (I like cashews and peanuts)
- 6 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 packet dried ranch seasoning (or 2 tablespoons)
- 1 teaspoon garlic salt
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
- 2 teaspoons fresh dill, very finely chopped
- 2 cups white cheddar popcorn
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the cereals, pretzels, Cheez-Its, and nuts, mixing to combine.
- In a small saucepan, melt the butter and then stir in the ranch seasoning, garlic salt, kosher salt, Worcestershire sauce, and fresh dill.
- Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and stir to evenly coat everything.
- Spread the cereal mixture out in an even layer on the baking sheet and transfer to the oven.
- Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes, or until the mixture is lightly golden and toasty.
- Remove from the oven and then gently stir in the white cheddar popcorn.
- Allow to cool completely on the tray before serving. Leftovers will keep in an airtight container for up to one week.
