What is the best bar snack/nut mix?
I struggle with this. What is everyone's favorite thing to put out in a bowl in front of people?
Anyone have any good brands, or recipes for mixes?

I love Beer Nuts but they are on the expensive side. Making your own candied nuts or caramel corn puffs is easy, and I think the classic baking spices pair nicely with a lot of Tiki drinks.
The classic savory Chex Mix is probably my favorite, often-on-sale option. I'll also accept just the rye chips as they are the superior ingredient.
One of my in-laws makes a big bag of oyster crackers tossed in herbs/ranch seasoning for every party and it is amazing.
I think we'd also be remiss if we didn't mention putting some li hing mui powder on popcorn or fruit chunks.
