Seasoning Sauce
- 1/3 cup butter, melted
- 1 tablespoon dried dill
- 1 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/2 cup dill pickle juice
- 1 (1 oz) package ranch seasoning mix
- 1 tablespoon white vinegar
Instructions
- Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F and line two rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper. Set aside to prepare your mix.
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a very large bowl, combine the corn Chex, rice Chex, mini pretzel twists, bagel chips, and cashew pieces thoroughly.
- Make Seasoning Sauce: In a small bowl, stir together the melted butter, dried dill, garlic powder, dill pickle juice, ranch seasoning mix, and white vinegar until well combined.
- Toss with Seasoning: Pour the seasoning sauce over the mixed dry ingredients and stir well to ensure everything is evenly coated.
- Spread and Bake: Transfer the coated mixture evenly onto the prepared baking sheets in a single layer. Bake in the oven for 30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even baking.
- Cool and Serve: Remove from the oven and let the mix cool completely on the baking sheets before serving. Enjoy your crunchy, tangy snack!
Notes
- Make sure to stir the mix halfway through baking to prevent uneven browning.
- You can substitute bagel chips with additional pretzels or crackers if desired.
- For a spicier kick, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the seasoning sauce.
- Store the cooled Chex mix in an airtight container to maintain freshness for up to a week.
- If you prefer a milder dill flavor, reduce the dried dill to 2 teaspoons.
