I did not have the cheese-filled crackers. I just added in more goldfish crackers. I also used a homemade ranch dressing mix. I did bake this spread into a deep pan--250* for an hour, stirred every 15 minutes just to make them crispy and to help that oil soak in. We LOVED this snack mix. GREAT for movie night and the kids asked for me to pack some in their lunches the next day!

Loved it!!!!! I've made it 3 times in the past 3 weeks. Only substitution was cheez-its for goldfish....just personal preference. Did not think it was too oily. I cut down on oil first 2 times.....3rd time followed recipe.....it was perfect. I make this for my neighbors at Christmas.....they love it.

Yum! I couldn't find most of the ingredients in the sizes listed here. My rice cereal, oyster crackers and cheese-filled sandwich crackers were available in smaller sizes. I reduced the oil since my ingredients weighed less and I omitted the nuts (just not a fan of them in party mix). My favorite part are the cheese crackers!

Very simple to make, and well liked by all I served. Makes three large ziplock bags of mix.

This was great, I didn't have the popcorn oil so I used olive oil. It gave the whole thing a bit of a Mediterranean taste.

Very good and easy. I left the nuts out since my family does not care for them. It is a little oily but I will try some of the things others used to absorb some of the oil next time. Oh and its 3 year old approved :)

I agree--it's too oily, but I solved that problem. I laid out newspapers on the table and put paper towels on top and spread the mixture on that. It absorbed the extra oiliness. The stored it in zipper bags. It makes so much that I can use it more than once and have leftovers. It is Very addicting! I love it!

It was a little too greasy, but that small factor aside the flavor was delicious. Will definitely be my new favorite party mix recipe.

I make this and send it to family and friends who are away at college, usually around midterm and just before final exams...I ship it in a small, new trash bucket. This snack mix is consumed immediately and is much enjoyed because it is a little spicier. Hats off to Dana! :)

This was soooo good!! It is absolutely addicting. I was worried it was going to be greasy but it wasn't at all. I gave it to my parents for Christmas and they said it was the best mix I've made for them yet.
