For the Crunchy Base

Method
 

How to Make Dill Pickle Chex Mix
  1. Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C). This low temperature ensures a gentle bake, allowing the flavors to meld beautifully without burning.
  2. Combine in a large bowl the rice Chex, corn Chex, pretzels, and bagel chips. Mix well for an even distribution of these crunchy delights.
  3. Melt the butter in a small saucepan over low heat. Stir in the dill pickle seasoning, garlic powder, onion powder, dill weed, and salt until thoroughly combined and fragrant.
  4. Pour the seasoned butter blend over the dry mix. Using a spatula, gently toss until every piece is beautifully coated in that zesty goodness.
  5. Spread the mix evenly on a baking sheet. Ensure it's in a single layer to achieve that perfect crispiness when baked.
  6. Bake for 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes. This will help each bit achieve a crunchy texture and golden hue, maximizing flavor.
  7. Cool the mix completely before transferring it to an airtight container. This step is essential for maintaining freshness and crispness.
