This is my mom's no-bake snack mix recipe, and it's so much better than other snack mix recipes out there. It's tangy, spicy, and so delicious! I make it for my coworkers for Christmas and always get requests for the recipe. You can vary the proportion of the snacks you use based on what you like. Add more oyster crackers or fewer pretzels, etc. For reference, this recipe probably makes enough snack mix to fill two 1-gallon resealable bags. This also freezes well to stay fresh longer.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 25 servings

  • ¾ cup vegetable oil

  • 1 ½ tablespoons salt-free seasoning blend (such as Mrs. Dash® Table Blend)

  • 1 ½ tablespoons dried dill weed

  • ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper

  • 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)

  • 17 ½ ounces crunchy cheese puffs (such as Cheetos®)

  • 15 ounces savory snack mix with toasted cereal (such as Chex® Mix)

  • 15 ounces mini pretzels

  • 12 ounces oyster crackers

Directions

  1. Whisk oil, seasoning blend, dill, and cayenne pepper together in a microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on medium (50%) power for 3 minutes. Whisk in ranch mix until blended.

  2. Place cheese puffs, savory snack mix, pretzels, and oyster crackers into a large container or paper bag. Pour oil mixture in, a little at a time, stirring to evenly distribute.

Recipe Tips

You can use a lemon and herb seasoning instead of the salt-free seasoning blend if preferred.

Heating the oil mixture in Step 1 enables it to better coat the snack mix.
