Ingredients

Directions

  1. Preheat oven to 350ðF (175ðC).
  2. In a very large bowl, gently combine the popped popcorn, pretzels, and Goldfish crackers.
  3. In a small saucepan over medium-low heat, melt the butter until completely liquefied but not browned or boiling.
  4. Remove the saucepan from heat. Whisk in the grated Parmesan cheese, ranch dressing mix, and pressed garlic clove until smooth and well combined.
  5. Slowly pour the butter mixture over the dry snack mix, tossing gently and constantly to ensure even coating without breaking the popcorn.
  6. Spread the coated mix in a single layer on a large baking sheet.
  7. Bake for 10-15 minutes, stirring every 5 minutes, until the mix is dry and crisp.
  8. Remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet before serving.

Note

Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week. The mix may lose some crispness over time.

Variations: For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or red pepper flakes to the butter mixture.

Tip: If you don't have fresh garlic, you can substitute 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder, but fresh pressed garlic offers a superior aroma.

Serving: This mix is best served at room temperature. It makes a great addition to any charcuterie board or game day spread.
