Notes
Storage: Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2-3 weeks. The mix stays fresh and crunchy if you make sure the container is completely sealed.
Ingredients: Use whatever nuts you love best. Cashews, almonds, pecans, or a mixed variety all work. The ranch seasoning packet is usually found near the salad dressings, or make your own with dried herbs and spices.
Prep ahead: This is a fantastic make-ahead snack. Bake it up to 3 weeks before you need it, or freeze it for 2-3 months. It’s perfect for holiday gifting or keeping on hand for unexpected guests.
