Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chex cereal (mix of rice and corn)
  • 2 cups mini pretzels
  • 1 cup pecan halves
  • 1/4 cup dill pickle seasoning
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Wet Ingredients

  • 1/2 cup unsalted butter
  • 2 tsp Worcestershire sauce

Instructions

  1. Preheat Oven: Preheat your oven to 250°F (120°C) and line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking and for easy cleanup.
  2. Melt Butter and Mix Seasoning: On low heat, melt the unsalted butter in a saucepan. Once melted, stir in the Worcestershire sauce and dill pickle seasoning until the mixture is well combined and fragrant.
  3. Combine Dry Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, mini pretzels, pecan halves, and garlic powder. This creates the base of your snack mix.
  4. Coat Snack Mix: Pour the melted butter mixture over the dry ingredients. Gently fold the mixture to ensure all pieces are evenly coated with the flavorful butter and seasoning blend.
  5. Bake the Mix: Spread the coated mixture evenly on the prepared baking sheet. Bake for 1 hour at 250°F, stirring every 15 minutes to allow even browning and crispiness throughout.
  6. Cool and Serve: After baking, let the mix cool completely on the baking sheet to allow it to crisp up further before serving.

Notes

  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crispness for up to one week.
  • You can adjust the amount of dill pickle seasoning depending on your taste preference for tanginess.
  • For added spice, consider adding a pinch of cayenne pepper or a dash of hot sauce in the butter mixture.
  • If you prefer a nuttier flavor, substitute pecans with walnuts or almonds.
  • Make sure to stir every 15 minutes during baking to prevent burning and ensure even coating.
