# Expert Advice:

01 -
  • It uses ingredients you probably already have sitting in your cabinet, no special shopping required.
  • The combination of tangy ranch and savory everything seasoning hits every craving at once.
  • You can make a huge batch in less time than it takes to watch a sitcom episode.
  • It stays crunchy for days, so you can snack guilt free all week long.
02 -
  • Don't skip the halfway stir or the edges will get too dark while the center stays pale and under seasoned.
  • Let it cool completely before storing or the steam will make everything soggy and sad within hours.
  • If your butter is too hot when you pour it over the mix, it can make some pieces soggy instead of crispy, so let it cool for a minute first.
03 -
  • Use a really large bowl for tossing so the seasoning coats evenly without spilling all over your counter.
  • If you like it spicier, add a pinch of cayenne or red pepper flakes to the butter mixture before tossing.
  • Taste a piece after it cools, if it needs more seasoning, toss it with a little extra ranch powder while it's still slightly warm.
