Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

3 cups Rice Chex cereal
3 cups Corn Chex cereal
2 cups pretzel sticks
1 cup unsalted peanuts

Seasoning Mixture

1 cup unsalted butter (2 sticks)
1 packet (1 ounce) dill pickle seasoning mix
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
1/2 teaspoon onion powder
1 teaspoon Worcestershire sauce
1 tablespoon dill weed
1/2 teaspoon salt (adjust to taste)

Instructions

Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper for easier cleanup if desired.
Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, mix together the Rice Chex, Corn Chex, pretzel sticks, and unsalted peanuts until well combined.
Prepare Butter Mixture: Melt the unsalted butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the dill pickle seasoning mix, garlic powder, onion powder, Worcestershire sauce, dill weed, and salt until thoroughly blended.
Coat Snack Mix: Pour the melted butter mixture over the dry Chex mix ingredients. Use a wooden spoon or spatula to thoroughly coat all pieces evenly with the butter and seasoning blend.
Spread on Baking Sheet: Evenly spread the coated mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, ensuring it is in a single layer for even baking.
Bake and Stir: Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring the mixture every 15 minutes to ensure all pieces cook evenly and absorb the flavors.
Cool and Store: Once baking is complete, remove from oven and allow the mix to cool completely on the baking sheet. After cooling, transfer to an airtight container to maintain freshness.

Notes

Adjust salt according to your taste preference since some dill pickle seasoning mixes can be salty.
Store the Chex mix in an airtight container for up to two weeks to keep it crunchy.
Feel free to swap pretzel sticks with pretzel twists or other shapes for variety in texture.
This recipe is great for parties but also makes a perfect snack for road trips or movie nights.
You can add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to give it a spicy twist if desired.
