My little Joey is always asking to help in the kitchen. But, he is quickly run over by several older siblings who insist that they get to help too. So, yesterday while all the wild ones were out on the trampoline, I snagged Joey and he helped me mix up this super easy snack. So easy that a two year old can make it!
We just called it Ranch Snack Mix. It’s a blend of all things kids love… pretzels, Bugles, Goldfish crackers, cashews, and Ranch dressing mix. The recipe makes a ton. We filled up two gallon sized Ziploc bags and the kids have been munching all day. I must say, Joey’s got a knack for making snacks. He was pretty proud of his recipe.

You nailed it … all the things kids LOVE! Haha, my little “helpers” would love to whip this up, and would enjoy eating it even more! Thanks for sharing!
You have the cutest kids, Becc. Just had to say that.
This looks delicious, I love that you added bugles!
They make great fingernails! …so says my little girls. 🙂
Perfect snack!! I’m glad he got to be the cook. He’s adorable!!
Thanks, Crystal!
I haven’t had a Bugle since high school! Love those! What a great alternative to Chex.
Same with me! I loved the nacho ones.
I love this recipe and my little boy has the same Thomas Shirt! Boys and their trains. 🙂
Seriously. Joey can spot anything Thomas or Cars from a mile away. Taking him to any store is impossible! It’s pretty cute though.
Yummy!!
These r even better baked for awhile!
Good to know, thanks!
