Ingredients
Scale
Dry Ingredients
- 4 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 4 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 2 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Garlic rye chips
- 1 cup Mixed nuts
Seasoning Mix
- 1/2 cup Unsalted butter (melted)
- 0.9 oz Hidden Valley Ranch Dips Mix Creamy Dill flavor (1 packet)
- 1 tbsp Dill pickle juice
- 1 tsp Garlic powder
- 2 1/2 tsp Dried dill
Instructions
- Preheat the oven: Preheat your oven to 250 degrees F to prepare for baking the Chex mix gently and evenly.
- Combine dry ingredients: In a large rimmed baking pan, mix together the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, mini pretzels, garlic rye chips, and mixed nuts to create the base of your snack mix.
- Whisk seasoning mixture: In a separate bowl, whisk together the melted unsalted butter, Hidden Valley Ranch Dips Mix Creamy Dill flavor packet, dried dill, dill pickle juice, and garlic powder until fully combined.
- Coat the mix: Pour the butter and seasoning mixture evenly over the cereal and nut mixture. Gently fold and toss everything together to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful mixture.
- Bake the mix: Place the pan in the preheated oven and bake for 1 hour, stirring and tossing the mixture every 15 minutes to prevent sticking and promote even crisping.
- Cool and serve: Remove the baked Chex mix from the oven and allow it to cool completely before serving, so it achieves the perfect crunchy texture.
Notes
- Make sure to stir the mix every 15 minutes during baking to ensure even coating and avoid burning.
- Use unsalted butter to better control the saltiness of the mix, adjusting seasoning if desired.
- Store in an airtight container once cooled to maintain freshness and crunch.
- For a spicier version, consider adding a pinch of cayenne or smoked paprika to the seasoning mix.
- If hidden Valley ranch dips mix is unavailable, substitute with a similar ranch seasoning packet.
