This smoky snack mix recipe is one of my favorite things to make for a get-together or party. It's easy to make, and the extra flavor that the smoker adds takes your standard chex mix to another level.

There are a lot of great things you can make for a big group of people, and for me, that usually starts with some type of really great smoked meat. Pulled pork, brisket, and chicken wings are always high on that list. The only challenge with those recipes is that they take quite a bit of time to prep and cook.

If you love chex mix, you'll love this smoky snack mix recipe. It has all the great taste of chex mix, with a wood fired smoky kiss that takes the flavor over the top.

This smoked snack mix is great for a family get together, tailgate party, or just to have on hand when you need a snack.

A Simple Tailgate Party Recipe

If you're looking for something a little easier to make, consider this smoky snack mix recipe. Consider the dry ingredients I recommend in this recipe as a base for your snack mix. Feel free to experiment with other dry goods to see what you like!

Smoky Snack Mix Recipe Ingredients:

To make this mix this is what you'll need:

  • 3 large aluminum pans (affiliate link)
  • 12 oz box of corn squares (Chex)
  • 12 oz box of rice squares
  • 20 oz box of cheese crackers (Cheez-Its)
  • 16 oz mixed nuts
  • 2 sticks of salted butter
  • ¼ cup Worcestershire Sauce
  • 2-3 Tbsp BBQ Rub

Set up your smoker to smoke at 225 degrees using indirect heat. I use oak or mesquite pellets for this recipe - I love the intense smoky flavor both kinds of wood can impart on the mix.

Combine all of the dry ingredients in the large aluminum pans. You'll need to use all 3 pans to accommodate the amount of smoky snack mix we are making.

Melt the sticks of butter, and combine with the Worcestershire and bbq rub. Drizzle the butter over the dry ingredients in each pan and use some tongs to toss.

Place the pans in your smoker, and let the snack mix take on smoke for at least an hour. I like to go 90 minutes if time allows for some more smoky flavor. Toss the snack mix every 15 minutes while it's smoking to make sure all of the snack mix gets exposed to the smoke.

Remove the pans from the smoker and let them cool for about 15 minutes before putting the mix into your preferred storage containers. In total, this smoky snack mix recipe makes about 4 gallons. Plan accordingly.
