Taco Snack Mix Recipe with Bugles
This is a variation on a recipe I posted earlier this year, Buffalo Ranch Snack Mix. It was a HUGE hit! Everyone goes nuts over it. I did a cooking demonstration at AllSouth Appliances one night. I was doing a Mexican food themed presentation and needed a quick and easy snack. I adapted the Buffalo Ranch Snack Mix and it was a total hit! People couldn’t stop eating it. I took this down to one of the last home games at Auburn and everyone loved it. This makes a ton, so it is great for a crowd.
This recipe uses one bag of regular Bugles and one bag of cheese Bugles. If you can’t find the cheese Bugles, you can just use two bags of regular Bugles.

In the largest bowl you have (or two large bowls), combine bugles, pretzels, Cheez-It crackers and peanuts.
Whisk together taco seasoning and canola oil. Pour oil mixture over bugle mix and toss thoroughly to combine.
Store in an air tight container.
Iām wondering with so much oil is it greasy?
It isn’t greasy, but make it however you wish.
I have only seen original or Nacho Cheese flavored Bugles in stores. So there is actually a Cheddar Cheese flavor as well??
I’m sure any cheese flavor will be fine
Does this get soggy?
Not at all
My kiddos would devour this snack mix in a hurry! Love it!
Anything with bugles in it is fine by me!
Amen! It was a miracle that any made it into the mix. I had a hard time resisting the urge to put them on my fingers and eat them one by one.
