This parmesan ranch bold Chex mix is the perfect snack. The interesting mix of crunchy sweet potato chips, cheesy crackers and sugared nuts makes it a perfect balance of sweet and savory.

Instructions
Preheat the oven to 325 degrees f. In either a large baking sheet or roasting pan, add the sweet potato chips, cheese crackers, and bagel chips, and bake for 5 minutes.
Remove from the oven and stir in pretzel chips, mixture of chex cereal, and nuts. Pour melted butter all over the dry ingredients so that the butter soaks in well. Then sprinkle on the ranch dressing mix. Toss well and bake for 10 minutes.
Remove the oven-baked chex mix from the oven and stir in the parmesan cheese, making sure to coat evenly. Bake one last time for about 10 minutes, and then remove from the oven and let cool to room temperature.
Notes
Store in an airtight container for up to 7 days, but I doubt it will last that long.
