Dill Pickle Chex Mix – my alltime favorite Chex Mix! Chex cereal, bagel chips, pretzel sticks, and cashews coated in a buttery dill pickle and ranch seasoning and baked until crispy and delicious.

This is one of my favorite things I’ve made in a long time. 

Yes, I know I say that a lot. Yes, I know I need to stop saying it so much. 

But I love Chex Mix and I love all things dill pickle flavored. It’s Chex cereal, bagel chips, pretzels, and cashews all coated in a delicious buttery savory seasoning. And then it’s all baked until it’s extra crispy. 

This was dangerous to have in the house. I had it on the kitchen island and would just grab a handful every time I walked by. If you love dill pickle flavored everything like I do, you have to make this!

How To Make Dill Pickle Chex Mix

This is a super simple recipe and a great one for tiny helpers because it involves lots of stirring. 

  • Combine Chex cereal, bagel chips, pretzel sticks, and cashews in a large mixing bowl
  • In a separate bowl, combine melted butter, dry ranch seasoning mix, dill pickle juice (just from a jar of pickles), dried dill, and garlic powder
  • Pour the butter mixture over the Chex cereal mixture and gently toss to make sure all the ingredients are coated 
  • Transfer to a rimmed baking sheet
  • Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes
  • After the house, transfer to parchment paper or aluminum foil to cool
  • Cool completely before serving and storing

What If I Can’t Find Bagel Chips

Okay, I had this problem. And I don’t know if it’s because we moved recently and it’s just not a thing here but they were nowhere to be found. 

I did have plain bagels though. 

I took 3 bagels and sliced thin rounds (my bagels were presliced so most pieces ended up as half circle-shaped) and brushed both sides with garlic butter (4 tablespoons melted butter, 3 minced cloves of garlic, and salt) and put them on a baking sheet. I baked them until they were crispy, turning once, about 15 – 20 minute depending on how thick they were sliced. 

And there you go, homemade bagel chips. Also very dangerous to have sitting on the counter. 

If you don’t feel like going through all that, you can just order them online.

How Long is Homemade Chex Mix Good For?

Homemade Chex Mix will stay good for several weeks (I usually say 2 weeks just to be safe but it can last longer) if stored in an airtight container. Just leave it at room temperature on your kitchen counter.

I like this 64 ounce glass jar because it holds a ton of Chex Mix and it looks super cute on the counter. A plastic storage container or a ziploc bag with all the air squeezed out also works.

Can You Freeze Homemade Chex Mix?

I don’t recommend trying to freeze homemade chex mix. Most of the ingredients would lose their crunch once frozen and defrosted.

    Made this to take to our beach house. Was so good. Doubled the batch and was gone before the week ended. Used fresh dill and dill ranch dressing just to get the extra pickle taste. Yummy!!!
