These slow cooker ranch nuts offer a great payoff for very little work. All you have to do is mix everything, walk away while it cooks, and enjoy the results. So easy!

Easy-to-Make Treat for Any Snack Table

My husband and I enjoy lots of snacks. Although these nuts taste like something for a special occasion, I like to eat them any time. Nuts are delicious, regardless of how they’re prepared … or not prepared. However, these take the flavors to a whole new level.

There’s something about cooking them for a few hours in the slow cooker that brings all the seasonings together to create an explosion of deliciousness. Because they’re so addictive, they’ll disappear in the blink of an eye.

The first time I made them, I didn’t have enough. When I went back to refill my bowl, there weren’t any left. That taught me a valuable lesson. A few of these ranch nuts are good, but more are better.

Whether I make these for him and me or for a group, they’re always delicious. The problem is that you can’t stop eating them.

They’re a great addition to a snack table, alongside pretzels or chips. Add some vegetables and dip, and you have all you need. Just make sure you have plenty of these nuts because they’ll go quickly if you don’t. Once someone tries a couple, they’ll keep eating.

Or serve these nuts on an appetizer table beside this spinach dip with some crackers, and everyone will be happy. In fact, your friends will think you’re a genius in the kitchen.

Ingredients for Slow Cooker Ranch Nuts

You don’t need many ingredients to make this delicious snack. In fact, all you need are nuts, butter, ranch mix, and salt. That’s it.

I use unsalted nuts because I like to control the amount of sodium I consume. However, if you have salted nuts to begin with, that’s fine. Simply leave out the additional salt.

How to Make Slow Cooker Ranch Nuts

This recipe is so easy anyone can make it. But you don’t need to tell anyone that it took you about 5 minutes to mix the ingredients.

First, pour all of the nuts into the pot of your slow cooker.

Next, mix all of the other ingredients in a medium-sized mixing bowl.

Then, pour the mixture over the nuts and stir to make sure they’re all coated.

Finally, pop the lid on the slow cooker and let it do all the work for you. I recommend stirring them periodically so they all cook evenly.
