Spicy Party Mix and Ranch Oyster Crackers

Published: Dec 18, 2015 · Modified: Nov 13, 2024 by Marisa Franca

This year we decided to leave Santa our Spicy Party Mix and Ranch Oyster Crackers instead of our biscotti.  Even though Santa likes biscotti -- a lot! We thought that after snacking all evening on sweets and drinking gallons of hot cocoa he might appreciate the spicy party mix and oyster crackers.

Party Mix is a delicious combination of nuts, cereal, pretzels, crackers and spiced up @allourway.com
Party Mix is a tradition during the holidays. Great for snacking and gift giving.

We came to this decision after we received a text from Mrs. Claus. She revealed that Santa's suit has become a little tight and, well, when he finally got home last year and landed, he was still flying high from all the sugar. He was so noisy Ho! Ho! Hoing! That he woke up all of the elves and then it was a free-for-all.

It took her better than four hours to get them all settled down. Poor Mrs. Claus!

But that's not all. . . . there was more . . . .

. . . . how did we find out?

Well . . . . Mrs. Claus simply broke down and told us the entire story.

 Here I'll just let you read for yourself the letter we left for Santa . . . .

. . . . it'll give you an idea of what happened and what Mrs. Claus is up against.

We're sure you can see we had to do something . . . . we simply couldn't let him finish the night with more sugar and then get behind the reins!

We left him the note next to his snack fully explaining what we were doing. We put an extra sack of Party Mix next to the reindeer's organic carrots with green tops. We thought Mrs. Claus might like a little something in way of appreciation for sharing Santa with us every year. We also included the recipe for both the Party Mix and the Ranch Seasoned Oyster Crackers in the sack - we thought Mrs. Claus might like to make the snacks for the elves.

Oh! You want us to give you the recipes for the snacks and show you how we make them?

Well sure! It isn't difficult.

Here is a picture of the main Party Mix ingredients . . . .

. . . .then all it takes is vegetable oil and spices . . . . that's what gives it the special spicy taste. You don't have to use these brands -- just something similar.

Party Mix in two Roasting Pan is cooling @allourway.com
Spicy Party Mix Recipe fills two large roasting pans. Plenty for snacking and gifting.

Then we get two very large aluminum roasting pans and evenly divide the ingredients between the two. For the next step you"ll need a blender -- it's easier that way.

You put the oil in the blender plus all of the spices -- push the button and blend away. Divide the oil evenly between the two roasting pans. We heat the oven to 250°F.

Then we take the contents of each roasting pan and put in a five-gallon food safe bucket and we put the lid on and rotate the bucket around 20 - 25 times. Yes! The bucket is as old as it looks. It has seen many batches of Party Mix. There were years when we made two to three batches in one Christmas season.

Party Mix Bucket and Container at least 25+years old @allourway.com

The contents go back into the roasting pan and we do the second roasting pan in the same manner. Every 20 minutes we take the Party Mix out of the oven and dump it back into the bucket and rotate it again about 20-25 times. It goes back into the roasting pan and again in the oven. The other batch gets the same treatment. We do this for two hours and when the two hours are up we let the Party Mix cool in the roasting pan. Once it's cool the spicy treat can be stored in the bucket.

Now, we have to admit we have two ovens and we can make both roasting pans of Party Mix at once. If you only have one oven then you'll have to do this in two stages -- but that's okay -- it's well worth the effort. In fact, our oldest grandson loves our Party Mix so much he wanted it for his birthday -- his birthday is in June. 🙂

The Ranch Oyster Crackers are super easy -- 2 bags of oyster crackers, original ranch powdered dressing, oil, garlic powder, and dill.

How easy is that ??!!

We hope you enjoy our family recipes -- we've been making them for decades, and they are wonderful to have on hand. Not only are they great to pull out as appetizers and snacks -- you can give them as gifts. Stock up on cute tins and then plan on sharing the delicious snacks.

If you like spicy, be sure to set out some Spicy Alabama Fire Crackers. These crackers should come with a warning -- you can't stop eating them!

And for the sweet tooth snack lover, you've got to check out and make our holiday version of Muddy Buddies, Christmas Reindeer Snack Mix. It's colorful and delicious -- always a favorite with family and guests.

Buon Natale a tutti e un Felice Anno Nuovo!! Alla prossima.

Instructions

  • Heat oven to 250 F.
  • Divide cereals, pretzels, crackers, and nuts evenly between the two roasting pans. Mix the spices and the oil in a blender making sure it is well blended.
  • Pour the oil evenly over each roasting pan.
  • Put the contents of one of the roasting pans in the bucket and cover with the lid. Rotate the bucket or container about 20 to 25 times. Pour the cereal contents back into the roasting pan and slide the roasting pan into the heated oven. Repeat the same procedure for the second roasting pan.
  • Every 20 minutes remove each roasting pan, pour the contents into the bucket, cover with lid, and slowly rotate the contents 20 to 25 so that the seasoning is well distributed.
  • After 2 hours, remove the roasting pans and let cool on cooling rack. Once the party mix is cooled it can be stored in the 5 gallon bucket or container you used to mix it. Keep in a cool place and it can last quite a while -- ours never has.

        This is a fab idea for a party snack! They look so tasty and so crunchy, just perfect little nibbles! And I also love the idea of turning these into edible gifts for the loved ones! It's always so much nicer to receive a gift that someone actually made!

        I love that you use a 5 gallon bucket to "stir" your party mix, and I love idea of the bag of snack mix for Mrs Claus and the recipe so she could make some for the elves. Great idea! Have you ever used the topping you put on the oyster crackers on pretzels. It's delicious that way. I will have to try it on the oyster crackers.

        Hello All Our Way readers,
        I will begin by saying my comments are objective, even though I am All Our Way's daughter.
        1. I grew up on this party mix and it is a loved family tradition! We have two teenage sons and when the party mix arrives it goes in the middle of the kitchen island with everyone's elbows out to position ourselves for optimal consumption.
        2. In her post Marisa mentions it "lasts forever," I can say with first hand knowledge, no it does not! It is eaten really (really) fast!!!
        3. My parents split the party mix equally between my brother's and I which I have often thought to be unfair since our house of 4 devours our portion in less than 12 hours. My boys have asked for the party mix for their birthdays but it is only made once a year.
        4. Finally, I am adding to my Christmas Wish List biscotti, although Santa may receive party mix from my parents, I would like to enjoy their biscotti too. We usually receive an assortment of flavors perfect for dipping in coffee or hot cocoa (not to mention I will be out of party mix within 12 hours and it would be nice to have another family tradition in the freezer hiding)

        Merry Christmas!

          To tell you the truth, I think Mrs. Claus was the more thankful. She has to watch that jolly old gentleman like a hawk 🙂

        This is an awesome idea! Very cute to set up with little ones. I don't have much of a sweet tooth so if I were Santa, I would definitely appreciate this 🙂

        Thanks for sharing!

          Well, we thought Santa probably wanted something a little different. We would have left him a beer, pretzels and cheese but since he's driving we thought it wouldn't be wise. 🙂

        We were the lucky recipients of 2 BIG containers and in less than a week it is gone. One container was hidden for 24 hours but sniffed out and consumed within hours. Boys do not understand the concept of ration!

          Oh but we love making it for them!! How are the pretzels and cheese holding up?? We've got biscotti coming next. BTW -- where was the hiding place for the party mix?

          The nice part about it Jovina is that you'll enough left over to send home with the some of the guests -- unless you want to keep it for family snacks. It will last quite a while -- unless you have nibblers in the family. Let me know how you like it.

        DELICIOUS! You're right, Marisa, this is addictive.....can't stop eating once you start nibbling. Another happy tradition for your family.....reminds me of mom and dad making peanut brittle every Christmas?

          Hi Susie!!! I sure do remember the pounds and pounds of peanut brittle your mom and dad used to make. I think they provided the entire town with some sort of treats. I've never met such giving souls; we miss them a lot. They sure were loved!!

        This is the first year Brayden really got the palate for the test of the Stewart Party Mix. He only picks around a select few nuts.

        Hi Marisa, very cute, I love the letters. I also love the spicy party mix. I brought a few bags back with me from Canada and now that they are almost finished I am going to make this recipe. You have no idea how much I love this stuff. Thanks.

          It is so addictive! My hubby will go by the bucket and grab a handful -- I try to avoid it! My gosh it is so good that once I start on it I can't stop.
