  • Author: Chef Steph

Description

Dill Pickle Chex Mix is a creative variation of the traditional Chex Mix, where the tangy, sour flavor of dill pickles is added to the mix. The result is a snack that’s crunchy, savory, and slightly sour, with a delightful kick. You’ll find Chex cereals, pretzels, peanuts, and a pickle-flavored seasoning that combines perfectly for a snack you won’t be able to stop munching on.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 3 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 1 ½ cups pretzels (mini or regular)
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts
  • ¼ cup dill pickle juice
  • ½ cup unsalted butter
  • 1 tbsp dill seasoning
  • 1 tbsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp mustard powder

Instructions

    1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven temperature to 250°F (120°C).

    1. Prepare the Seasoning: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the butter. Stir in the dill pickle juice, dill seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, mustard powder, and salt. Mix well until everything is evenly combined.

    1. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereals, pretzels, and peanuts.

    1. Coat the Mix: Pour the pickle-seasoning mixture over the dry ingredients. Toss everything together until it’s evenly coated.

    1. Bake: Spread the mixture in an even layer on a baking sheet. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure the mix is evenly toasted.

    1. Cool and Serve: Once baked, allow the Chex Mix to cool completely before serving.

Notes

To achieve a crisp, crunchy texture, be sure to stir the mix every 15 minutes during the baking process. This will ensure that all the pieces cook evenly and don’t end up soggy. Keeping the oven temperature low also helps prevent burning while getting that perfect crunch.
