These easy no-melt beach snacks are a crunchy, chewy, and refreshing treat designed to withstand heat and humidity without melting or getting soggy, perfect for outdoor munching.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup mixed nuts (roasted unsalted peanuts, almonds, cashews)
  • ½ cup dried fruits (chopped dried apricots, cranberries, or mango)
  • 4 rice cakes (plain or lightly salted, broken into bite-sized pieces)
  • ½ cup roasted chickpeas (seasoned with smoked paprika and sea salt)
  • ¼ cup dark chocolate chips (optional)
  • 2 tablespoons unsweetened coconut flakes
  • 1 teaspoon fresh citrus zest (lemon or lime)
  • 1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup
  • Pinch of sea salt

Instructions

  1. Preheat your oven to 375°F (190°C).
  2. Rinse and dry ½ cup of chickpeas thoroughly. Toss with 1 teaspoon olive oil, smoked paprika, and sea salt. Spread evenly on a baking sheet and roast for 25-30 minutes, shaking halfway to avoid burning. They should smell nutty and feel crispy when done.
  3. On a separate baking sheet, spread the mixed nuts evenly. Roast for 8-10 minutes until golden and fragrant. Let cool completely.
  4. In a large bowl, combine roasted nuts, roasted chickpeas, chopped dried fruits, rice cake pieces, coconut flakes, and dark chocolate chips (if using). Stir gently to avoid breaking the rice cakes.
  5. Sprinkle lemon or lime zest over the mix, then drizzle with honey or maple syrup. Toss lightly to coat everything evenly.
  6. Add a pinch of sea salt to balance flavors, then give one last gentle stir.
  7. Transfer the snack mix into an airtight container. Ready to serve or pack for outdoor adventures.

Notes

Let roasted nuts and chickpeas cool completely before mixing to prevent rice cakes from getting soggy. Use a gentle hand when mixing to keep rice cakes intact. Adjust honey or syrup lightly to avoid clumping. Citrus zest adds a fresh flavor boost. Store in airtight containers to maintain crispness.
