- 1 ½ tablespoons dried dill weed
- ½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 (1 ounce) package dry ranch dressing mix (such as Hidden Valley Ranch®)

Fun and delicious! I am sending it to the grandkids. It is so easy, that they can make it themselves.
Made as written and this was really good. I was afraid the cheetos would get soggy but they held up well. The one thing I didn’t care for was that the savory snack mix with toasted cereal (such as Chex® Mix) is already seasoned so they got a double dose. Next time I’ll toss them in at the end after the other stuff has absorbed the homemade seasoning. This is fairly expensive to make but it makes a ton!
