Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
  • 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
  • 2 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 2 cups bagel chips
  • 1 cup cashew pieces

Seasoning Mixture

  • 1/3 cup unsalted butter, melted
  • 1 tablespoon dried dill weed
  • 1 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/2 cup dill pickle juice
  • 1 (1 oz) package ranch seasoning mix
  • 1 tablespoon white vinegar

Instructions

  1. Preheat the Oven: Set your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper to ensure even cooking and easy cleanup.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, mini pretzel twists, bagel chips, and cashew pieces until well blended.
  3. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, dried dill weed, garlic powder, dill pickle juice, ranch seasoning mix, and white vinegar until fully combined and smooth.
  4. Coat the Dry Ingredients: Pour the seasoning mixture evenly over the combined dry ingredients. Gently stir and toss to ensure every piece is thoroughly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Bake: Spread the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through the baking time to promote even seasoning and crispness.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and allow the Chex Mix to cool completely on the sheets. Once cooled, transfer to an airtight container for storage and enjoy as a delicious snack anytime.

Notes

  • Store the mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 2 weeks to maintain crispness.
  • You can customize the nut choice or omit them for a nut-free version.
  • If you prefer a spicier mix, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning mixture.
  • Use fresh dill weed for an even more vibrant flavor if available.
  • For a gluten-free version, ensure the pretzels and bagel chips used are certified gluten-free.
