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.

- M&M’s
- Chocolate Chips
- Pecans
- Cashews
- Pretzel Sticks

And so much more! If you have something that you like in your snack mix, add it in! You can always experiment and get the best tastes added in that you want.
If you add something that can melt like chocolate make sure you add it after you smoke the snack mix.
Can I make this ahead of time?
Yes! In fact we recommend making it about 24 hours in advance of serving because the smoky flavor really comes out after resting.
We would not recommend making it more than 2-3 days in advance because the ingredients do become stale.
