I am obsessed with this new gluten-free recipe for cheesy ranch Chex mix. Hubby has been eating a small bowl every night while watching TV. The addition of the cheese star puffs and Free Yumm smiley face cheezy crackers works so well. The gluten-free cheesy ranch Chex mix can be stored in an airtight container for 3-4 weeks.

Great for gatherings or parties, holiday snacking and a fave of mine-food gifts. Add a decorative tissue to a holiday tin and fill with the gluten-free Chex mix. It will be a welcome and much enjoyed gluten-free food gift.

This gluten-free cheesy ranch Chex mix is flavourful and such an easy gluten-free snack to make. It is a kid friendly recipe too. I have shared 3 different gluten-free Chex mix’s this week like spicy Chex mix, caramel Chex mix and gingerbread Chex mix. All are so tasty and perfect for holiday snacking or as a food gift.

HOW TO MAKE THE MIX:

1. Preheat oven to 300 degrees.
2. In a large bowl add the cereals, peanuts and pretzels and stir.
3. In a small bowl add the melted butter, ranch seasoning packet, parmesan cheese and Worcestershire sauce and stir well.
4. Pour butter mixture over dry ingredients and stir well.
5. Add mix to a large cookie sheet or a roasting pan.
6. Bake for 45 minutes stirring every 15 minutes.
7. Remove and add the star puffs and cheezy crackers plus a sprinkle of salt and stir.
8. Once cool put in an airtight container and mixture will store for 3-4 weeks.

The gluten-free cheesy Chex mix is a hit at every gathering or party and always a family snack while watching movies or playing games. Cheesy ranch Chex mix is a savoury and crunchy gluten-free snack that combines flavours of ranch, cheese and a variety of crunchy shapes like square, round, star and donut shape.

I love this combo of salty and savoury flavours with the crunch goodness of Chex, oat cereal, pretzels and peanuts. The puffed cheese stars and Free Yumm smiley face cheezy crackers are a great addition to the mix.

Being gluten-free we are more limited in what crunchy gluten-free ingredients we can add to the Chex mix. No oyster crackers, goldfish, bugles or cheez its for us. My gluten-free recipe uses gluten-free ingredients like rice and honey Chex mix, pretzels (both sticks and pretzel shape), donut shaped oat cereal, puffed star crackers and smiley face cheese creackers. I hope you try my Chex mix recipe and enjoy it as much as we are.

You can spice up this gluten-free cheesy ranch Chex mix by adding hot sauce or buffalo hot sauce to the butter mixture. I’d use between 1/4-1/3 cup buffalo sauce depending on your spice level.
