Ingredients

4 cups Rice Chex cereal

4 cups Corn Chex cereal

2 cups pretzels (mini twists or sticks)

1 cup cashews (or any other nut of your choice)

1/4 cup dill pickle juice

1/4 cup melted butter

1 teaspoon garlic powder

1 teaspoon onion powder

1/2 teaspoon dill weed

1/4 teaspoon salt (optional)

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

1 tablespoon dill pickle seasoning (optional, for extra flavor)

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C).
  2. In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, and cashews. Stir until evenly mixed.
  3. In a separate small bowl, whisk together melted butter, dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, salt, black pepper, and dill pickle seasoning (if using).
  4. Pour the butter mixture over the Chex mix and gently stir to coat all pieces evenly.
  5. Spread the mixture evenly on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat.
  6. Bake for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to cook evenly and avoid burning.
  7. Once golden and crispy, remove from oven and let cool completely on the baking sheet.
  8. Store in an airtight container at room temperature.

Notes

Swap cashews for almonds, peanuts, or walnuts as preferred.

Add cayenne pepper or smoked paprika for a spicy kick.

Use flavored pretzels like ranch or spicy for extra taste.

Try different pickle seasonings or add fresh chopped dill for more herb flavor.

Make gluten-free by using gluten-free pretzels and cereals.

Store in airtight container up to 2 weeks at room temperature.

Reheat in oven at 250°F for 5-10 minutes to refresh crunch.
