Directions

First combine all the sauce ingredients into a saucepan and set it on the burner on medium. When the butter melts down stir the sauce together and turn the burner on low. Keep the saucepan on low until you are ready to use it otherwise the sugar will solidify.


Next, in a large mixing bowl or foil lasagna pan, combine the dry ingredients together.


Next slowly pour some of the sauce over the dry mix. Use a heat glove and stir around the mixture by hand. Continue these steps until all the sauce is incorporated into the dry ingredients.


Spread the snack mix over 2 foil lined cookie sheets. Place the cookie sheets on a pellet smoker burning hickory pellets at 250 F.


After 1 hour taste a sample and determine if you are happy with the smoke flavor. If you are, remove the cookie sheets and allow the snack mix to cool down for a few minutes. Otherwise, rotate the cookie sheets around on the smoker and continue to smoke for up to 1 more hour.
