Preheat your oven to 250ºF and line a 9x13 baking sheet with parchment paper.
In a medium mixing bowl, combine the Chex cereal, pretzels, and almonds.
In a separate small bowl, stir together the melted butter, powdered buttermilk, salt, dill, chives, and garlic powder.
Pour the seasoned butter mixture over the cereal mix. Use a rubber spatula to gently toss everything until it’s well coated.
Spread the mixture evenly onto your prepared baking sheet.
Bake for 25–30 minutes, stirring halfway through to ensure even toasting.
Let the Chex mix cool on the baking sheet for 10 minutes.
Once cool, divide it into four snack containers—or keep it in an airtight jar for easy, grab-and-go snacking throughout the week.
