Introduction

This Dill Pickle Chex Mix is a tangy, savory snack perfect for parties or casual munching. With a flavorful blend of crunchy pretzels, nuts, and rye chips, all coated in a creamy dill ranch seasoning, it’s an addictive treat that’s easy to make and sure to please any crowd.

A black bowl full of a snack mix sits on a light grey cloth with a white marbled surface underneath. The bowl contains three main layers: at the bottom and middle are square wheat cereal pieces that are pale yellow with a waffled texture and covered in green herb seasoning. Mixed throughout are golden brown pretzel twists with a smooth and shiny surface visible in the middle and top layers. Scattered among the cereal and pretzels are whole cashew nuts with a creamy beige color and smooth texture mainly seen on the top layer. The bowl is filled to the brim with the snack mix slightly mounded over the edge. In the background, there is a small white pot with green plants and a black geometric wall behind. photo taken with an iphone --ar 4:5 --v 7

Ingredients

Step 3: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted butter, ranch dill dip mix, dried dill, dill pickle juice, and garlic powder until well combined.
Step 4: Pour the butter mixture evenly over the cereal mix. Gently fold and toss everything together to coat the ingredients evenly.

Tips & Variations

Use gluten-free Chex cereals and pretzels to make this snack gluten-free.
Add a pinch of cayenne pepper for a spicy kick.
Swap the mixed nuts for your favorite types like almonds or cashews for a personalized touch.
If you prefer a stronger dill flavor, add extra dried dill or garnish with fresh dill after baking.

Storage

Store the cooled Chex mix in an airtight container at room temperature for up to two weeks. It stays crispy and flavorful. If the mix softens over time, you can re-crisp it by spreading it on a baking sheet and warming it in a 250-degree F oven for 5-10 minutes.
