This gem of a recipe for Dilly Snack Mix is fully credited to my awesome sister-in-law Kris who shared it with me about 8 years ago, when Big Sis was just starting school. She said it would be a big hit with the teachers, being one herself. So from that day on, I started making this to share with teachers, friends and family alike on holidays and other special occasions. I know it’s a hit because every time I share some, I always get requests for the recipe. So here it is, transferred from my sis’ handwritten recipe she so sweetly shared with me. Love ya, Kris!

Recipe Notes
Enjoy!
I've made this dilly snack mix many different times and ways. In the picture below, I added chex rice cereal to the mix which add a great light crispiness. You can change the crackers up and totally make it your own!
