Dill Pickle Snack Mix Delight
Main Ingredients:
- 3 cups (255 grams) Chex cereal (any variety)
- 2 cups (100 grams) pretzel sticks
- 1 cup (150 grams) roasted peanuts or your favorite nut
- 1 cup (50 grams) dill pickle chips, chopped
Seasoning Ingredients:
- ½ cup (113 grams) unsalted butter, melted
- 2 tablespoons (30 milliliters) dill pickle juice
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) garlic powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) onion powder
- 1 teaspoon (5 grams) dill weed
Finishing Ingredient:
- Salt, to taste
Instructions
- Preheat the oven to a low temperature of 250°F, creating an ideal environment for gently toasting the snack mix. Line a spacious baking sheet with parchment paper to ensure easy cleanup and prevent any sticking.
- Gather the core ingredients in a generously sized mixing bowl, combining crisp Chex cereal, crunchy pretzel sticks, hearty roasted peanuts, and tangy chopped dill pickle chips. Mix these components to create a uniform base for the snack.
- Craft a flavor-packed seasoning by whisking together melted butter, zesty dill pickle juice, aromatic garlic powder, pungent onion powder, fragrant dill weed, and a subtle hint of salt. This liquid mixture will be the flavor catalyst for the entire snack.
- Drizzle the seasoning mixture over the dry ingredients, using a spatula to thoroughly coat every morsel. Ensure each piece is saturated with the tangy, herbaceous blend, creating a consistent flavor profile throughout the mix.
- Transfer the seasoned mixture to the prepared baking sheet, spreading it into a single, even layer. This allows for uniform heating and optimal crispiness. Place in the oven and bake, pausing every 10 minutes to gently stir and rotate the mix, promoting even toasting and preventing any burning.
- After 30-40 minutes, remove the snack mix from the oven. Allow it to cool completely on the baking sheet, which will help the mixture become extra crisp and develop a satisfying crunch. Once cooled, break apart any clusters and serve as a delightful, addictive snack.
