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)
  • 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)

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/4 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1/4 cup melted butter

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to ensure it reaches the correct temperature for slow baking the Chex mix to a crispy texture without burning.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, and cashews. Stir gently until everything is evenly mixed for consistent flavor and texture.
  3. Prepare 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 creates the tangy, savory coating for the mix.
  4. Coat Mix: Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the cereal and nut mix. Gently stir to coat all pieces evenly, ensuring every bite is flavorful.
  5. Bake: Spread the coated mixture 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 baking and prevent burning.
  6. Cool: Once the mix turns golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet. This cooling step helps the mix crisp up further.
  7. Store and Serve: When cooled, transfer the Dill Pickle Chex Mix to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks. Enjoy as a tangy, crunchy snack anytime!

Notes

  • You can substitute cashews with almonds, peanuts, or walnuts depending on your preference.
  • Dill pickle seasoning is optional but adds an extra punch of flavor if you like intense dill taste.
  • Stirring every 15 minutes during baking is important to avoid burning and to ensure even coating.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain crispiness.
  • Adjust salt to taste, especially if your pretzels are already salty.
