Ingredients

Scale

Dry Mix

  • 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: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper to prepare for baking the mix.
  2. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large bowl, mix together Corn Chex, Rice Chex, mini pretzel twists, bagel chips, and cashew pieces until evenly combined.
  3. Prepare Seasoning Mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together melted unsalted 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 in the large bowl. Gently stir to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
  5. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated mixture in an even single layer on the prepared baking sheets. Bake in the preheated oven for 25-30 minutes, stirring gently halfway through baking to ensure even crisping and prevent burning.
  6. Cool and Store: Once baked, 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 to maintain crispness.

Notes

  • Spread the mix out in a single layer on baking sheets to avoid overcrowding and ensure even cooking.
  • Stir the mixture halfway through baking to promote uniform crisping and prevent burning.
  • Use dill pickle juice rather than sweet pickle juice for the authentic tangy flavor.
  • Allow the mix to cool completely before storing to prevent sogginess from condensation.
  • Choose high-quality ranch seasoning and fresh dried dill for the best taste results.
