Dill Pickle Chex Mix

January 14, 2023 Amanda Plott

It’s been a while, but I had seen this idea a while back now for a pickle flavored chex mix which I’ve got to be honest, really intrigued me. I like pickles, and I like chex mix… but would I like them together? As it turns out, I do! As is usual with chex mix, this one starts out with - you guessed it - chex cereal. I went with corn, but you can really pick wheat, rice, etc. Whichever base you want to start with.

Then we’re adding in other tasty bits like cashews, pretzels, and even some bagel crackers. You can use bagel chips/crisps, but I couldn’t find any of those to save my life, so I went with some small round bagel inspired crackers that I found instead. That’s sort of the fun part about chex mix anyway, isn’t it? Getting to swap things around!

After over an hour of baking at a low temperature this chex mix is ready to go. It’s got just enough tang from the pickle juice to get the flavor while the ranch mix gives you pretty much anything else you could want from a savory chex mix.

This stuff is good for about two weeks after it’s baked, so feel free to bag it, tag it, and take it with you for a grab-and-go snack or to pack in lunch bags. I haven’t yet put it to the test with my own kiddo, but there’s nothing spicy in here so if your kid likes pickles and chex mix - they’re probably like this too!
