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
Wet Ingredients and Seasonings
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 (1 oz) package ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. This will prevent sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a very large bowl, add the corn Chex, rice Chex, mini pretzel twists, bagel chips, and cashew pieces. Mix them together well to distribute everything evenly.
- Make seasoning mixture: In a small bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dried dill, garlic powder, dill pickle juice, ranch seasoning mix, and white vinegar until well combined.
- Coat Chex mixture: Pour the seasoning mixture over the combined dry ingredients. Stir thoroughly to ensure that every bite is coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Spread on baking sheets: Divide the mixture evenly between the prepared baking sheets. Spread it out in a single layer to promote even baking and crispiness.
- Bake to crisp: Bake in the preheated oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even browning. Bake until the mix is golden brown and crisp.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baking sheets from the oven and let the Chex Mix cool completely before serving. This helps the snack firm up and enhances the crunch.
Notes
- Use parchment paper or silicone baking mats to prevent sticking and simplify cleanup.
- Stirring halfway through baking ensures even coating and browning.
- Letting the mix cool fully before storing or serving improves the crisp texture.
- You can adjust the amount of dill pickle juice to taste for more or less tang.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
