Dilly Ranch and Cheese Chex Mix
This crunchy homemade snack mixes ranch, cheddar, and dill pickles for a treat you will not be able to put down.
recipesbynani.comIf you are looking for the perfect snack for your next get together, this is it. It combines that classic salty crunch of Chex mix with a zesty ranch flavor and a cheesy finish that everyone seems to love.
My best advice is to make sure you dry your pickle slices really well with paper towels before adding them to the mix. Getting them as dry as possible keeps the cereal nice and crisp while you bake it.
