Dill Pickle Snack Mix
It’s entirely possible that I’m losing my mind.
But, in the best way possible, of course. I mean, I already have my Christmas tree up. I even have presents under it, if you were wondering what kind of over-achiever I am. I’m that kind. The kind that shops in July and puts her tree up in November.
This is probably the only area in my life that you could call me an over-achiever and it’s mostly just because a) I love Christmas, b) I’m beyond excited for Christmas cookies, c) the tree makes the house feel so warm and cozy, and d) I know what’s coming.
By “what’s coming,” I mean the nuttiness of the holidays. I start early because I’d surely run out of time and sanity otherwise. Between the holiday shopping, holiday decorating, holiday guests, holiday baking, holiday holiday holiday, things get a little…intense…this time of year. Know what I mean?
So, I teamed up with CVS Pharmacy to promote their exclusive Gold Emblem snack line this holiday season – new flavors of nuts, the nuttiness of the holidays…see how it’s all tying in?
I’m a firm believer in being prepared for guests during this time of year. People are in from out of town, everyone is out and about, and people just tend to drop by. When I tried out the Gold Emblem Dill Pickle Cashews, I knew immediately that I was making a dill pickle snack mix. The cashews are just perfect in this mix and this is just great to keep on hand for unexpected guests.
This mix is crunchy snack perfection – I added real pickle juice to the mix, because yum. I’m a little pickle obsessed.
Did I mention you don’t even have to turn the oven on to make this? It’s perfect for this nutty time of year!
Be sure to check out the sweet coconut cashews and the exotic Thai-inspired spiced cashews with a kick. Vote for your favorite flavor right here and get a coupon in the process! I was surprised by how much I enjoyed the coconut flavor! But in the end, I had to vote for dill pickle! I love it!

This snack mix sounds so good!! I’m a huge dill pickle lover!
I’m so impressed you have your tree up already! I’m usually so late getting a tree, I get one at 50% off. lol
I’ve never tried pickle juice with snack mix. I’m sure I would love it!
Wow ! This sounds different. Can’t wait to try it!
Karly, I just love this! I have lots of dill pickle fans in the family so I can’t wait to try this recipe!
If there’s anyone who can manage the nuttiness of the holidays it’s gotta be you! These nuts look great and I’m looking forward to seeing some Christmas recipes. Actually I have some of my Christmas baking done (so proud lol) and Christmas presents started. No tree up but soon. Like you said, I know it’s going to get crazy down the road and I hope this is the year I am really relaxing on Christmas eve if that’s at all possible. I don’t think it’s crazy to have the tree up already, cause then you can sit back enjoy the season instead if trying to figure out how much time you have left lol …
Girl, having Christmas baking done already is impressive!! Go you!
I am usually way ahead on gift buying, but not this year… so I will probably be a special kind of nutty in a week or two. We love snack mixes too, so I’ll have to give this a try!
Well you and me both because my tree is up in November too! No shame! And girl– you had me at dill pickles. This is the snack mix of my dreams!
Perfect choice Karly. I am a huge fan of coconut flavor but this time I’m going with dill pickle. Thanks for sharing recipe, look delicious
Nice !!! Definitely a helpful quick recipe for my next road trip this holiday !
Thanks for sharing this, it also makes use of my leftover Snyder’s pretzel pack at home haha !
And happy holiday Karly!
I wonder if these cashews taste anything like the dill pickle ones that Target use to carry by Archer Farms.
Not sure! They’re delicious though. 🙂
I only have dry dill, and idea how much I should use?
One teaspoon of dried dill is a good swap per tablespoon of fresh. 🙂
