Best Ever Ranch Snack Mix

This ranch snack mix is an upgraded version of a snack I remember eating as a kid, which we only made with oyster crackers. I went to a baby shower 10 years ago or so where the host had made this and added in other crackers besides oyster crackers – simple but genius upgrade! Since that time I’ve modified the original seasoned oyster cracker recipe a bit to suit my family’s tastes. This recipe is so simple yet gets rave reviews at any gathering I take it to.

Ranch Snack Mix Ingredients:

• 1 package oyster crackers
• 1.5 cups White Cheddar Cheez Its
• 1.5 cups other plain crackers (I used mini Club Crackers this time)
• 1.5 cups broken up breadsticks (approximately 1.5-2 inch sections)
• 1 cup vegetable oil (or substitute other lighter oils like grape seed)
• 1.5 tablespoons of dry ranch dressing mix
• 1 teaspoon lemon pepper
• 1/2 tsp garlic salt

1. In a large bowl, combine your crackers and breadsticks.
2. In a small bowl combine your oil and seasonings together.
3. Pour about half of your mixture over your crackers and stir well to coat. Pour in the remainder of your oil mixture over your crackers and coat evenly.
4. Let sit for for a few hours (or overnight) to soak into your crackers.

You can eat it right away too, but it’s a bit oily until the mixture infuses into your crackers. I like to stir it periodically. You can store in an airtight container for several days.

This is a hit at parties and perfect for the Super Bowl, game day, family gatherings, work snack days – you get the idea!
