  1. 1

    Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).

    Melt the butter in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave for 25 to 30 seconds. Add the hot sauce and microwave again until warmed through, 20 to 30 seconds more. Stir in the ranch seasoning.

  3. 3

    In a large bowl, combine the rice cereal squares, wheat cereal squares, peanuts, pretzel crackers, and Parmesan-flavored crackers. Pour in the butter mixture and mix thoroughly to coat. Spread the mixture in 2 ungreased 9x13-inch baking pans.

  4. 4

    Bake in the preheated oven until golden, about 15 minutes. Remove from the oven and stir well. Return to the oven and bake until dried, about 15 minutes more. Spread on paper towels to cool.
