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 prepare for baking.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together the Corn Chex, Rice Chex, pretzel twists, bagel chips, and cashew pieces until evenly combined.
  3. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, dried dill weed, garlic powder, dill pickle juice, ranch seasoning mix, and white vinegar until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  4. Coat the Dry Ingredients: Pour the seasoning mixture over the dry ingredients, stirring gently but thoroughly so that every piece is coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Bake: Spread the coated mix evenly onto the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring halfway through baking to ensure even cooking and prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Serve: Remove the Chex Mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely on the baking sheets. Once cooled, transfer the mixture to an airtight container for storage to maintain freshness.

Notes

  • Do not overcrowd the baking sheets; spread the mix out in a single layer to avoid soggy or unevenly cooked pieces.
  • Stir the mix halfway through baking to promote even cooking and prevent burning.
  • Use dill pickle juice, not sweet pickle juice, to keep the authentic tangy flavor.
  • Allow the mix to cool completely before storing to prevent condensation and sogginess.
  • Opt for high-quality ranch seasoning and fresh or good quality dried dill for the best flavor.
