Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 2 cups pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
  • 1 cup cashews (or any other nut of your choice)

Wet and Seasonings

  • 1/4 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup melted butter
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper
  • 1 tablespoon dill pickle seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for slow baking the mix for a perfectly crispy texture.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, and cashews. Stir gently until all ingredients are evenly mixed.
  3. Make the Seasoning Mixture: In a separate small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, salt, black pepper, and dill pickle seasoning if using. This mixture will coat the snack and infuse it with tangy flavor.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the Chex mix. Gently stir with a spatula or spoon to ensure every piece is evenly coated without breaking the snack.
  5. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated mix evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat. Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to promote even browning and prevent burning.
  6. Cool the Snack: Once the mixture is golden and crispy, remove the baking sheet from the oven and allow the Chex mix to cool completely on the pan. This cooling step helps the snack become extra crunchy.
  7. Store and Serve: After cooling, transfer the Dill Pickle Chex Mix to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy it as a delicious snack any time!

Notes

  • For a stronger dill pickle flavor, increase the amount of dill pickle seasoning or use extra dill pickle juice.
  • You can substitute cashews with almonds, peanuts, or any nuts you prefer.
  • To make it gluten-free, ensure you use gluten-free pretzels and certified gluten-free cereals.
  • Stirring every 15 minutes during baking is key to avoid burning and ensure even crispiness.
  • The mix can be customized by adding other snack items like cheese crackers or bagel chips.
