I make this every time we go on a road trip; it's great for snacking on the road. You can either pack it in a couple of large bowls, or into individual zip top bags for the kids. It makes lots!

SERVES 12 (change servings and units)

Ingredients

  • 1 (10 ounce) package mini twist pretzels

  • 1 (12 1/2 ounce) box Ritz Bits miniature crackers (or Ritz sticks snack crackers)

  • 1 (9 3/4 ounce) can salted cashews

  • 1 (7 1/4 ounce) package bite-size cheddar cheese goldfish crackers

  • 1 (1 ounce) package ranch dressing mix
  • 1/2 cup vegetable oil

Directions

  1. 1
    In a very large bowl, combine the pretzels, Ritz bits, cashews, and crackers.
  2. 2
    (I use my largest roasting pan for this.).
  3. 3
    Sprinkle evenly with dressing mix, then drizzle with oil.
  4. 4
    Stir gently but thoroughly until all pieces are well coated.
  5. 5
    Store in an airtight container.

Very, very good...very, very easy!! My only troubles was knowing exactly how much of each item since I bought in bulk and was changing some of the ingredients based on availability and preference. In the end, I used about 4 cups of goldfish (wholewheat), 4 cups of pretzels, 6 cups of Crispix and 2 cups of peanuts. I am so looking forward to munching on this during our road trip!!

    This stuff is great! The only changes I made were that I used Crispix cereal instead of the Ritz Bits crackers and I halved the recipe, because we made the Pizza Flavored Snack MIx from this site with the other half (which is also yummy).

    Okay, picture this...4 ladies on a weekend shopping road trip, in a Ford Expedition, going down the interstate, passing a huge bag of this stuff back and forth, stuffing their faces and still talking 100mph! Okay, I know, not a pretty sight! But this does attest to how good this mix is! We almost lived off of this the whole weekend! The other 3 asked for the recipe and expressed how delicious they thought it was! I prepared it as directed by the recipe and kept tasting as I mixed. I found that I had to add much more ranch dressing to get the strength of flavor that I wanted. Very Very Good!
