Hot Honey Dill Pickle Snack Mix
These days, I can't seem to get enough pickle in my life! I will seriously demolish a whole jar in a day or two. We're expecting our third and last baby in a few months and I guess that's her fav thing so far. This Hot Honey Dill Pickle Snack Mix was the perfect thing to cure my hankering for pickles and also cure my never-ending snack attack. This was so addicting, ridiculously easy to make, and super game-day worthy! It's also family friendly, despite the hot honey twist. Loaded with pretzels, cheese crackers, peanuts, Chex cereal, a variety of spices, and a hot honey glaze - this is the type of mix that you can proudly present at a potluck. Just know...you'll probably be asked to bring it every time. It's that good!
Equipment
Ingredients
For the snack mix:
- 3 cups Mini Pretzels
- 2 cups Rye Chips
- 2 cups Chex Cereal
- 1 cup Roasted Peanuts
- 1 cup Cheese Crackers
For the hot honey dill pickle glaze:
- 6 tbsp Butter
- 2 tbsp Honey
- 1 tbsp Pickle Juice
- 1 tbsp Worcestershire
- 1 tsp Hot Sauce
- 1 tsp Paprika
- 1 tsp Garlic Powder
- 1 tsp Onion Powder
- 1 tsp Dried Dill
- ½ tsp Ground Mustard
- ½ tsp Salt
- ¼ tsp Cayenne Pepper
- ¼ cup Parmesan Cheese freshly grated
For serving:
- Dried Dill
- Flaky Salt
Instructions
To prep the snack mix:
- Preheat the oven to 250°F and line a large baking sheet with parchment paper.
- Next, add all of the snack mix ingredients to a large bowl, then carefully mix with your hands until combined.
To make the hot honey dill pickle glaze:
- Melt the butter in a small dish.
- Transfer it into a separate mixing bowl along with all of the other ingredients for the hot honey dill pickle glaze, then whisk to combine.
- Pour the glaze over the snack mix and use your hands to gently toss, taking the time to ensure that each piece gets coated.
Using a large spoon to do this could break the pieces in your snack mix! I found that patience really is the key here. Using your hands to massage that glaze onto the pieces as you toss is the best way!
To make the hot honey dill pickle snack mix:
- Pour the snack mix onto the prepared baking sheet and spread it into an even layer.
- Bake for 45 minutes, stirring thoroughly every 15 minutes.
- Once it's done, allow to cool completely on the baking sheet.
You probably won't end up with a single layer because there's a lot, but that's okay. We'll be stirring it often!
This allows everything to harden and crisp up even more!
To serve:
- Top the cooled mix with a generous sprinkle of dried dill and some flaky salt, if desired. Enjoy!
