Ingredients

Scale

Snack Mix Base

  • 2 cups Cheez-Its
  • 2 cups Cheddar cheese flavored Chex Mix
  • 2 cups Nacho cheese flavored Bugles
  • 2 cups Goldfish crackers
  • 1 cup Mini saltine crackers
  • 1 cup Pretzel twists

Seasoning Mix

  • 1/2 cup grated Parmesan cheese
  • 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
  • 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Combine the Snacks: In a large mixing bowl, add Cheez-Its, Cheddar cheese flavored Chex Mix, nacho cheese Bugles, Goldfish crackers, mini saltine crackers, and pretzel twists. Gently toss them together to mix evenly without breaking the snacks.
  2. Prepare Seasoning Mix: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the grated Parmesan cheese, vegetable oil, crushed red pepper flakes, garlic powder, kosher salt, and black pepper until well blended to create a flavorful seasoning oil.
  3. Toss Snack Mix with Seasoning: Pour the seasoning mixture over the snack mix. Using a spatula or wooden spoon, gently fold and toss the mix until every piece is evenly coated with the Parmesan and spice mixture.
  4. Let it Rest: Spread the seasoned snack mix on a large baking sheet or platter in a single layer and let it rest at room temperature for about 15 minutes. This allows the flavors to meld and the Parmesan to adhere well.
  5. Serve or Store: Serve immediately as a delicious party snack or transfer it to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 3 days for optimal freshness and crunchiness.

Notes

  • For a softer texture, omit the resting step or refrigerate the mix before serving.
  • You can substitute spicy Chex Mix or add other favorite snack crackers to customize the mix.
  • Adjust crushed red pepper flakes to your heat preference.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan cheese for best flavor and coating.
  • Make sure to toss gently to prevent breaking the crackers and chips.
