Family and friends will munch this fun mix of crackers, nuts and ranch dressing by the handfuls! "Everyone is sure to find something they like," writes field editor Sharon Nichols of Brookings, South Dakota. "If not, substitute other snack packages to vary the flavors."

Ingredients

  • 12 cups original flavor Bugles
  • 6 cups miniature pretzels
  • 1 package (11 ounces) miniature butter-flavored crackers

  • 1 package (6 ounces) Goldfish Parmesan crackers
  • 1 cup mixed nuts or peanuts
