Ranch Snack Mix

0 In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini saltines, Cheez-Its, and pretzels. Toss gently to mix all the crackers together, creating a delightful variety of textures and flavors.
1 Divide the mixture evenly into two plastic bags or large resealable containers.
2 In a small bowl, whisk together the oil and 1 1/4 packets of ranch seasoning (save the remaining seasoning for later use).
3 Pour half of the ranch seasoning and oil mixture into each bag with the crackers. Seal the bags or containers securely.
4 Gently shake and toss the bags to ensure all the crackers are evenly coated with the ranch seasoning mixture. This will infuse every bite with a burst of tangy and herby ranch flavor.
5 Line a baking pan with aluminum foil for easy cleanup. Empty one bag of the seasoned snack mix onto the pan, spreading it out evenly.
6 Sprinkle an additional dusting of ranch seasoning over the snack mix on the pan to intensify the ranch flavor.
7 Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). Bake the snack mix in the oven for about 10 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting. Baking will enhance the flavors and give the snack mix a satisfying crunch.
8 Repeat the baking process with the second bag of seasoned snack mix.
