Crunchy & Smoky Snack Mix

Looking for a snack that hits every craving—crunchy, smoky, savory, and just a little nutty? This PB2 Crunchy & Smoky Snack Mix delivers big flavor with a better-for-you twist.

Made with PB2 Crunchy Powdered Peanut Butter, this mix gives you that classic peanut flavor you love, plus added texture from real roasted peanut pieces. It’s the perfect balance of indulgent and functional, ideal for on-the-go snacking, game days, or meal prep.

PB2 Crunchy adds peanut flavor and protein while allowing the mix to stay crisp and savory without relying solely on butter or nuts for richness.

Makes about 8 cups 

Directions: 

1.     Preheat oven to 250°F. Line a large, rimmed baking sheet with parchment paper; set aside.

2.     In a small bowl, whisk together melted butter, PB2 Crunchy, smoked paprika, garlic powder, salt, onion powder, cayenne pepper, and black pepper; set aside.

3.     Add pretzel sticks, cereal, and mixed nuts to a large bowl. Drizzle melted butter mixture over pretzel stick mixture and stir until evenly coated.

4.     Spread mixture in a single layer onto prepared baking sheet. Bake in preheated oven until lightly toasted and fragrant, about 30 minutes, stirring once halfway through cook time.

5.     Remove from oven and allow snack mix to cool before serving. Coating will crisp as it cools.
