Instructions to Snacking Bliss
- Preheat and Prepare: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F (120 degrees C). Line two baking sheets with parchment paper for easy cleanup.

- Flavor Fusion: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted butter, Buffalo sauce, ranch dressing mix, and garlic powder.
- Coat and Bake: Pour the flavor mixture over the snack mix and stir until everything is well coated. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheets.
- Crisp to Perfection: Bake in the preheated oven for about 1 hour, stirring halfway through. Watch closely to achieve that golden-brown perfection.
- Cool and Enjoy: Remove from the oven, sprinkle with sea salt flakes if desired, and let cool completely before serving.
Tips for Tailoring Your Snack Mix
- Sweet and Spicy Contrast: The Honey Nut Chex™ adds a delightful sweetness that balances the spicy Buffalo sauce.
- Cracker Options: Feel free to swap out the Cheddar goldfish crackers for other small Cheddar crackers.
- Ranch Remix: If you make your own ranch seasoning mix, a store-bought packet is equivalent to about 2 tablespoons.
