party mix

Salty nibbles blend

Party mix is a snack blend of small, crunchy items—typically crackers, pretzels, nuts, and seasoned cereal pieces—served at casual gatherings.

The classic version is Chex Mix, coated in savory seasonings and baked.

The term extends to any similar combination of finger-food snacks meant for sharing: I put out some party mix for the guests.
