What is the best wood to use in the smoker for this snack mix?

For this snack mix, we recommend using a mild, sweet wood that won’t be too strong like applewood or cherry.

Can I make this ahead of time?

Yes! In fact we recommend making it about 24 hours in advance of serving because the smoke flavor really comes out after resting.

We do not recommend making it more than 2-3 days in advance because the ingredients become stale.

How to Store Leftover Smoked Snack Mix

Storing this snack mix is a breeze. Just make certain that it’s cooled completely and store it in an airtight container or bag.

A great idea is to store it up in individual baggies so that it’s an easy grab and go snack. This is perfect for school snacks, picnic lunches, or a handy treat that you can take with you when you’re traveling on the go.

It’s best consumed within four days or the ingredients go stale.

how to keep snack mix from going stale

Make sure your Smoked Snack Mix is completely cool before storing it in an airtight container to keep it from going stale too quickly.

A great option is also to freeze your snack mix after is has cooled. It will last up to 3 months in the freezer in an airtight container or freezer safe zip top bag.
