Munchie Mix

I got this recipe from Aunt Kaye.  It can be kind of pricey to put together so watch for the crackers to come on sale!

1 bag of Nacho Cheese Bugles or Ranch
1 bag of Plain Bugles
1 bag of Fish crackers
1 box of Cheese crackers
2 boxes Ritz bits with cheese
3 pounds of pretzels
Nuts-almonds, pecans, whatever you want!
Stir:

2 packages Ranch dressing mix
1 bottle popcorn oil, Orville Redenbacher’s
2 T dill weed

Pour over crackers until well coated. 
(I had to make this in a few large bowls!)

Put on cookie sheet and bake at 250 for 45 minutes.

Stir every 15 minutes (I don't do this...)

This recipe will fill 4 cookie sheets!
Store in gallon size ziploc bags or tupperware. 
It will last a while!

But trust me, even if the picture isn't appetizing, the food is!
