This Easy Savory Chex Mix combines ranch seasoning and everything bagel seasoning for a tangy, garlicky, and addictive snack. It’s quick to make, perfect for parties or weeknight snacking, and always a crowd-pleaser.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 9 cups Chex cereal (rice, corn, or wheat)
  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 packet (1 oz) ranch seasoning mix
  • 3 tablespoons everything bagel seasoning
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1 cup pretzel sticks or mini pretzels
  • 1 cup cheese crackers or goldfish
  • 1 cup mixed nuts or peanuts

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, cheese crackers, and nuts. Stir gently to distribute.
  3. In a small microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Let it cool for about a minute, then whisk in the ranch seasoning, everything bagel seasoning, garlic powder, and onion powder until smooth.
  4. Pour the seasoned butter over the cereal mixture. Fold gently with a spatula until every piece is evenly coated.
  5. Spread the mixture in a single layer on the prepared baking sheet.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes, until the cereal is dry and lightly toasted.
  7. Remove from the oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet (at least 30 minutes).
  8. Break apart any clumps with your hands before serving or storing.

Notes

For best results, let the mix cool completely before storing. The flavor improves overnight. For a spicier version, add 1/2 teaspoon cayenne pepper or 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes. For a dairy-free version, substitute butter with vegan butter or coconut oil. For gluten-free, use gluten-free Chex and gluten-free pretzels.
