Description

Don't buy the store version of snack mix. It's easy to make your own. It tastes so much better, is fresh and you know all of the ingredients. Add the ingredients that are your favorites to make it truly your own.

Ingredients

• ⅔ c. canola, vegetable, or olive oil
• 1 oz. packet Ranch dip seasoning mix powder, like McCormick Ranch Dip
• 4 c. popcorn, popped (2 - 3 T. un-popped kernels)
• 3½ c. pretzels (waffle-style pretzels recommended, like Snyder's
• ½ - 1 c. peanuts, almonds, cashews, or favorite nuts or mixed nuts, optional
• 3 oz. Parmesan cheese, grated

Steps

1. In a large microwave-safe bowl, add oil and Ranch mix; stir to combine; add popcorn, pretzels, nuts and optional ingredients.
2. Toss to evenly coat the mixture; it may seem a bit on the oily side, this is okay, it will absorb. Heat on High power for 2 minutes, stopping after 1 minute to toss the mixture. The oil has a tendency to pool at the bottom of the bowl. Add the Parmesan cheese; toss to coat evenly.
3. Serve mix immediately.
