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)
Seasoning and Coating
- 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
- Preheat the Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the Chex mix.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, and cashews. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
- Mix Seasoning: 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, to create a flavorful coating.
- Coat the Mix: Pour the butter and pickle juice mixture over the cereal and nuts. Gently stir to ensure every piece is coated well with the tangy seasoning.
- Spread and Bake: Spread the coated mix evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to prevent sticking.
- Bake and Stir: Bake in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. This keeps the mix cooking evenly and prevents burning.
- Cool: When the mix is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet.
- Store: Once cooled, transfer the Dill Pickle Chex Mix to an airtight container and store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.
Notes
- For extra dill flavor, add additional dill pickle seasoning as desired.
- Feel free to substitute nuts according to your preference or dietary needs.
- Make sure to stir the mix every 15 minutes while baking to avoid burning and ensure an even crisp.
- Store in an airtight container to keep the snack fresh and crunchy.
