Ingredients

2 tablespoons buttermilk powder

2 teaspoons dried parsley 

2 teaspoons dried chives 

1 teaspoon dried dill 

1 teaspoon dry mustard 

1/2 teaspoon cayenne 

1/2 teaspoon garlic powder 

1/2 teaspoon onion powder 

3 cups pretzel snaps 

2 cups Cheddar bunny crackers 

2 cups oyster crackers 

2 cups sriracha peas (or use wasabi peas if the sriracha ones are hard to find) 

2 cups white Cheddar cheese balls 

4 tablespoons unsalted butter 

2 tablespoons sriracha 

3 tablespoons grated Parmesan 

Directions

  1. Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F. Line a rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a small bowl, stir together the buttermilk powder, dried parsley, dried chives, dried dill, dry mustard, cayenne, garlic powder and onion powder. (This is a homemade dry ranch seasoning mix which you could also treat like the packet and stir into sour cream or Greek yogurt for a quick dip!)
  3. In a large bowl, combine the pretzel snaps, Cheddar bunnies, oyster crackers, sriracha peas and white Cheddar balls.
  4. Melt the butter in a small skillet (or the microwave) and stir in the sriracha.
  5. Drizzle the butter mixture over the snack mix and toss with the seasoning mix and Parmesan. Spread on the prepared baking sheet and bake, tossing once or twice, until everything is dry and toasted, about 25 minutes. Let cool on the baking sheet.

Looked good and sounded good, but for some reason it wasn't a big hit. Maybe it has just a little too much going on, or we just prefer the classic more. Not a keeper for us.
