REVIEWS:

This recipe is awesome? We love Chex Mix, and this is our new favorite. I love how easy it is to prepare and all the ingredients are perfect.

Good recipe. Nice heat. The guys loved it. Extremely simple; I threw together wintin a few minutes.

This was really good, next time I will add a little more Hot Sauce, you could't really taste the kick unless you ate a bunch of it. It was really good just more of a prefrence to add more kick.

This is very good and very easy! I just used the whole stick of butter, three Tablespoons of Franks hot sauce and the ranch. I gave away at work for Christmas and everyone wanted the recipe!

I made this and brought it to work. It was gone the same day! I omitted the celery seed (I don't like celery) and added a cup of peanuts. I could not find parmesan crackers so i used a pepper jack cheese cracker to make it hotter! Great flavor!

I just tried this yesterday...it's awesome!!!
