This Tennessee Road Trip Snack mix is a sweet and salty combination of classic Southern flavors like candied pecans, crunchy pretzels, and smoky bacon bits. Tossed together with chocolate chips and a touch of maple, it’s the ultimate road snack with a nod to Tennessee charm.

Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup candied pecans (store-bought or homemade)

  • 1 cup mini pretzels

  • 1/2 cup maple bacon bits (real or vegetarian-style)

  • 1/2 cup chocolate chips or chunks

  • 1/2 cup dried cherries or cranberries

  • 1 cup corn or rice cereal squares (like Chex)

  • Optional: pinch of cayenne for heat or a drizzle of maple syrup

Instructions

  1. Combine ingredients: In a large bowl, mix candied pecans, pretzels, bacon bits, chocolate chips, dried fruit, and cereal squares.

  2. Optional flavor boost: Add a light drizzle of maple syrup and a tiny pinch of cayenne if you want a sweet-heat combo. Toss to coat.

  3. Store: Keep in an airtight container or zip-top bags for road trips, snacking on the go, or lunchboxes.

Notes

  • You can make it nut-free by swapping pecans for sunflower seeds.

  • Store in a cool place to prevent the chocolate from melting on long drives.

  • Great for hiking, camping, or game day too!
