Spicy Ranch Party Mix Recipes

SPICY RANCH SNACK MIX

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
• In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk powder, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, dry mustard, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. (This is a homemade dry ranch seasoning mix which you could also treat like the packet and stir into sour cream or Greek yogurt for a quick dip!)
• In a large bowl, combine the pretzel snaps, Cheddar bunnies, oyster crackers, sriracha peas and white Cheddar balls.
• Melt the butter in a small skillet (or the microwave) and stir in the sriracha.
• Drizzle the butter mixture over the snack mix and toss with the seasoning mix and Parmesan. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing once or twice, until everything is dry and toasted, about 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.

SMOKY AND SPICY PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C).
• Gently mix corn, rice, and wheat squares, oat rings, mixed nuts, mini pretzels, goldfish crackers, and sesame snacks in two 13x24-inch aluminum roasting pans, taking care not to break cereal.
• Stir bacon drippings, unsalted butter, Worcestershire sauce, MSG, liquid smoke, cayenne pepper, seasoned salt, chili powder, garlic powder, and hot pepper sauce together in a microwave-safe bowl. Cook on high in microwave for 3 or 4 30-second intervals, stirring each time, until mixture is warm, liquid, and fully combined.
• Stir seasoning sauce continuously as you pour half over the cereal mixture in each pan. Gently stir the snack mix and seasonings with a slotted spoon until thoroughly coated; do not crush cereal.
• Bake in the preheated oven until sauce is completely absorbed and the snack mix is crisp, about 2 hours; stir gently every 15 minutes. Cool completely and store in airtight containers. The snack mix stores well in freezer in airtight freezer bags, if it makes it that long.
