Ingredients

Scale

Cereals and Nuts

  • 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

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the Chex Mix.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, and cashews until well combined.
  3. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a 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.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the butter and pickle juice mixture over the cereal mix. Gently stir to evenly coat all pieces with the seasoning.
  5. Spread on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated mix evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure even baking.
  6. Bake and Stir: Bake the mixture in the preheated oven for about 45 minutes. Stir every 15 minutes to prevent burning and to ensure even crisping.
  7. Cool and Store: Once golden and crispy, remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet. Store the cooled Dill Pickle Chex Mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks.

Notes

  • Use your favorite nuts if cashews aren’t preferred.
  • Dill pickle seasoning is optional but adds extra tangy flavor.
  • Stirring during baking is essential to avoid burning and promote even crispness.
  • Store in an airtight container for maximum freshness.
  • Adjust salt according to taste or dietary preference.
