  • Total Time: 40-50 minutes
  • Yield: About 8 cups 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 3 cups Chex cereal (any variety you prefer)
  • 2 cups pretzel sticks
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts (or your favorite nut)
  • 1 cup dill pickle chips, chopped into small pieces
  • ½ cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 2 tbsp dill pickle juice
  • 1 tsp garlic powder
  • 1 tsp onion powder
  • 1 tsp dill weed
  • Salt, to taste

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Start by preheating your oven to 250°F (120°C). Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper to keep cleanup easy.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, add your Chex cereal, pretzel sticks, roasted peanuts, and chopped dill pickle chips. Toss everything together to make sure it’s evenly mixed.
  3. Prepare the Seasoning Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, and a pinch of salt. This is where the magic happens! The dill pickle juice and butter give this snack its signature tangy flavor.
  4. Coat the Mix: Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring well so each piece is coated evenly with that delicious dill seasoning.
  5. Bake: Spread the mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for about 30-40 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes to ensure it cooks evenly and doesn’t burn.
  6. Cool and Serve: Take the pan out of the oven, and let the Chex mix cool completely. Once cooled, store it in an airtight container to keep it fresh.

Notes

  • Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh dill weed and high-quality dill pickle juice make a big difference. They bring out the pickle flavor without overpowering it.
  • Customize the Mix: Feel free to swap out peanuts with your favorite nuts, or even add some spicy elements like a pinch of cayenne pepper for extra kick.
  • Storage: Store your Dill Pickle Chex Mix in an airtight container at room temperature. It should stay crunchy and delicious for up to a week.
