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 Mix

  • 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: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) to prepare for baking the snack mix evenly and slowly, which helps develop crispness without burning.
  2. Mix Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, and cashews. Stir thoroughly to ensure all components are evenly distributed, forming the base of the snack mix.
  3. Prepare Seasoning: In a separate small bowl, whisk together melted butter, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, salt, black pepper, and dill pickle seasoning (if using). This blend brings the signature tangy and savory dill pickle flavor to the mix.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the seasoning mixture over the cereal and pretzel mixture, gently stirring to coat every piece evenly with the flavorful butter and dill pickle seasoning.
  5. Arrange on Baking Sheet: Spread the coated mixture in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat to ensure easy cleanup and even baking.
  6. Bake the Mix: Place the baking sheet in the preheated oven and bake for about 45 minutes. Stir the mix every 15 minutes to promote even cooking and prevent burning. The mix should become golden and crispy.
  7. Cool and Store: Remove the baked Chex mix from the oven and let it cool completely on the baking sheet. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container. Store at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain freshness and crunch.

Notes

  • Stirring every 15 minutes during baking is crucial to prevent burning and ensure even crispiness.
  • You can substitute cashews with other nuts like almonds or peanuts according to preference.
  • If dill pickle seasoning is unavailable, increase dill weed slightly and add a pinch of dried mustard powder for extra tang.
  • Store the finished mix in an airtight container to keep it crunchy up to two weeks.
  • Adjust salt quantity based on your taste preference or dietary needs.
