Raise your hand if you like to snack?!

Yeah, me too! In fact, Big Daddy claims all I do is a snack. Welllllll, it could be true! My Ultimate Snack Mix is a flavor explosion and full of crunchy goodness. It’s hard not to snack on it. It’s also easy to throw together and perfect for a party. It will be your new favorite!

I adore this mix. I don’t usually make a ‘Snack Mix’ just for us. I’d eat wayyyyyyyy too much of it. For some reason, I associate the traditional Chex Mix with Christmas. That’s the only time I remember my mother making it. It’s so yummy, isn’t it? Every time I’d walk by the bowl of mix I’d grab a handful…………..

ULTIMATE SNACK MIX

My oldest turned 11 in July. With a group of 10 and 11-year-old boys hanging out for the night, I thought it would be good just to have out so they could munch at their leisure. It was a light bulb moment, 10 and 11-year-old boys Eat. A. Lot.

So this is not your average, every day, traditional, same-ole-boring Snack Mix. For one it uses popcorn oil! I. know. right!? It really adds to the richness and flavor. Then there’s Nacho Bugles and Ranch dressing… well, just take a peek below for the entire recipe.

I hope you enjoy it as much as the boys did!

      The Pin It is at the bottom of the post. (or should be, I should make sure they are still there) OH, you can’t go wrong with Bugles! Those nachos ones are to die for, I ate those and the peanuts out of it! 🙂

      Charla, I thought of a couple of recipes that would be easy for you. This Muffuletta could be put together completely before you even drove to Oxford or at least easily put together the morning of with nothing to cook. https://www.callmepmc.com/2012/09/muffuletta/ I even did Muffuletta on a Stick and it’s fun but more time consuming. https://www.callmepmc.com/2012/09/muffuletta-on-a-stick/ Also, for 11 a.m. games this Sausage Roll is one of my go-to dishes. I’ll cook the sausage the night before then just assemble and bake that morning. https://www.callmepmc.com/2012/03/sausage-roll-call-me-pmc/ This Pimento Cheese you could use as a hot or cold dip (I would bake it in a bread bowl if doing it hot) or make sandwiches with it. https://www.callmepmc.com/2013/01/3-cheese-pimento-cheese-call-me-pmc/ I hope this helps, I’ll still be thinking of more for you!

    This looks so good, Paula! I know I said on FB (or maybe it was G+) that I loved these pics. Well, I am going to say it again. I love the pic! I bet you are enjoying that new camera!

      It’s a love/hate relationship with the camera, like, I just want to know it. I want to know what to do, what settings to use ALREADY. But, I am surprising myself with the pictures, at least I’m glad it was somewhat the camera and not just me! 🙂

    Hi Paula. I’m a new participant from Julie’s social post from today. I’m a new follower and I’m hoping you’ll take a look at my blog. And as for this snack mix, I haven’t had Bugles in years. Love those things. I didn’t realize they still made them. I’ll have to pay more attention next time I’m on the snack aisle.

      My boys ‘discovered’ Bugles a couple of years ago and for a while that’s all they wanted. I didn’t know they even have nacho flavored until recently, but, boy, are they good! I ate way too much of this. Headed to your blog now!

    Dear Paula,

    I live on the MS Gulf Coast and travel to Oxford for every game day at Ole Miss. We tailgate and it’s a lot of work. I’m trying to come up with recipes that I can make ahead of time, and that would travel well. Getting to Oxford, after midnight, and cooking after we get there makes it not only a long day, but very stressful. Do you have any suggestions( other than having it catered by someone else which is very expensive) that I can make ahead and put in a cooler and take up with me?

      Charla, thanks for commenting. I’m actually working on a tailgating post right now. I haven’t thought about those of you that travel and then have to cook, that puts another spin on it. It can be a long day even if you didn’t have all the traveling that you do. I can imagine you’re tired!! Let me think about it this morning and see what I can come up with.
