Ingredients

Scale

Cheese and Crackers

  • 2 cups Cheez-Its
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese flavored Chex Mix
  • 2 cups cone-shaped nacho cheese flavored Bugles
  • 2 cups cheddar cheese Goldfish crackers
  • 2 cups mini saltine crackers
  • 1 heaping cup pretzel twists

Seasoning Mix

  • 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, plus more for sprinkling if desired
  • 1/3 cup canola oil (or olive oil works)
  • 1 to 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper (adjust to taste)
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Prepare the snack mix base: In a large mixing bowl, combine 2 cups Cheez-Its, 2 cups Cheddar cheese flavored Chex Mix, 2 cups cone-shaped nacho cheese flavored Bugles, 2 cups cheddar cheese Goldfish crackers, 2 cups mini saltine crackers, and 1 heaping cup pretzel twists. Gently toss to evenly distribute all the snacks.
  2. Mix the seasoning blend: In a separate small bowl, combine 1/2 cup freshly grated Parmesan cheese, 1/3 cup canola oil, 1 to 2 tablespoons crushed red pepper, 1 teaspoon garlic powder, 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt, and 1/4 teaspoon black pepper. Stir well to create a uniform seasoning mixture.
  3. Combine seasoning with snack mix: Pour the seasoning mixture over the snack mix base, then gently fold and toss everything together until the snacks are evenly coated with the flavorful Parmesan and spice blend.
  4. Adjust and serve: Taste the snack mix and sprinkle additional Parmesan cheese if desired. Let the mix sit for a few minutes to allow flavors to meld before serving. Store leftovers in an airtight container to keep the mix fresh and crunchy.

Notes

  • Adjust the amount of crushed red pepper to your preferred spice level.
  • Canola oil can be substituted with olive oil for a different flavor profile.
  • This snack mix is best enjoyed fresh but can be stored in an airtight container for up to a week.
  • For extra texture, consider adding roasted nuts or different flavored crackers.
