# Expert Tips:

01 -
  • It takes less than ten minutes to prep and uses ingredients you probably already have in your cupboard.
  • The combination of ranch tang and everything bagel crunch makes it impossible to stop eating.
  • You can make it ahead and it actually stays crispy for days in a sealed container.
  • Its endlessly adaptable to whatever crackers, nuts, or chips you have on hand.
02 -
  • Do not skip the halfway stir or the edges will brown too fast while the center stays pale.
  • Let it cool completely before sealing it up or trapped steam will make everything soggy within an hour.
  • Use unsalted butter so you control the salt level, especially since the pretzels and crackers are already salted.
03 -
  • Taste a cooled piece before storing to see if it needs more seasoning, then toss with a little extra ranch powder if desired.
  • Use a silicone spatula to toss the mix so you do not break the pretzels or crackers into dust.
  • Double the batch and bake on two sheets at once, rotating them halfway through for the most efficient party prep.
