Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 6 cups Chex cereal (corn, rice, or wheat)
  • 1/2 cup butter
  • 2 tablespoons dill pickle juice
  • 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
  • 1/4 teaspoon onion powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon dill weed (dried)
  • 1/4 teaspoon celery seed
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature ensures the mixture bakes evenly and dries out for perfect crunchiness.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Seasonings: In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat, then stir in the dill pickle juice, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, celery seed, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
  3. Combine with Cereal: Place the Chex cereal in a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter and seasoning mixture over the cereal and gently toss to coat all pieces evenly without breaking the cereal.
  4. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated cereal mixture in an even layer on a large baking sheet. Bake in the preheated oven for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even drying and prevent burning.
  5. Cool and Store: Remove the baking sheet and allow the Chex mix to cool completely on the pan. Once cool, store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness.

Notes

  • Use fresh dill pickle juice for the best flavor; bottled juice from a jar of pickles works perfectly.
  • Be careful when stirring the mix during baking to avoid breaking the cereal pieces.
  • Store the Chex mix in a sealed container at room temperature for up to two weeks.
  • For extra spice, add a pinch of cayenne pepper or smoked paprika to the butter mixture.
