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!

I made a batch of the Ultimate Snack Mix this past weekend. It was as easy and gone in less than 30 minutes. I will definitley be packing this one up to take to the Grove this fall.
Found this post on Whimsey Wed blog hop. OMG! This snack mix looks amazing and you had me a bugle 🙂 Already a follower. Do you have a Pin it Button, or am I just missing it?
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! 🙂
