Peanut Butter Chocolate Mix - Taste Test
There are six different items in this peanut butter trail mix combo from Costco, and each of them helps make this trail mix such a tasty and addictive snack.Â
The peanuts and the chocolate chips are traditional trail mix items and found in most other trail mixes. They make a nice solid base for this PB chocolate trail mix.Â
The pretzels are filled with peanut butter, but are my least favorite item in the trail mix. They only had a minuscule amount of peanut butter and were quite dry.Â
Great Reese's Pieces Candies
The big differentiators here are going to be the Reese’s Pieces brand peanut butter candy and the mini-mini peanut butter filled cups.Â
The Reese’s Pieces, come in three colors of brown, orange and yellow, and were fantastic as always.
Generic Peanut Butter Cups
I thought the mini peanut butter cups were a slight letdown, but still enjoyable. They aren’t Reese’s brand and it showed; the chocolate was weak and the peanut butter was runny.
I would have preferred a more creamy peanut butter texture.
Worth a Buy!
All combined, the sweet and salty are perfectly balanced. The peanut butter flavor is strong and present in every bite.
The peanut butter pieces candies are a great addition and this is a very solid Costco buy.
Hoody's Peanut Butter Chocolate Mix Nutritional Information
How Many Calories in Hoody's Peanut Butter Trail Mix?
One serving of Hoody’s Peanut Butter Chocolate Trail Mix is 3 Tablespoons or 1 ounce (28g). Each serving contains 150 calories coming from 9 grams of fat, 14 grams of carbohydrates, and 3 grams of protein.
Is Hoody's Mix Healthy?
This is essentially a peanut butter trail mix so this isn’t going to be the healthiest food for you, and the nutritional profile is just average. There is a hearty amount of both carbs and fat in this peanut butter chocolate mix.Â
One thing to note: there are some healthy fats in this trail mix. Of course, anything coming from the Reese’s Pieces candies or the peanut butter/chocolate chips are not going to be healthy fats, but the actual peanuts will provide some good heart healthy mono and polyunsaturated fats.
Ingredients
There are way too dang many ingredients in this trail mix, which usually isn’t a good sign. There are too many for me to list, so I’ll leave you all with the photo.
Final Thoughts
This trail mix is delicious and might be one of the most addicting trail mixes that I have ever tasted. The combination of sweet and salty is perfect and the peanut butter candies amazing. The occasional pieces of chocolate are a nice mix up and go together so well with the rest of the items.Â
I like it, but I’m not sure I can recommend it. One serving is one ounce of peanut butter chocolate mix and I’ll tell you right now, it’s really hard to stop at one serving. If I just have one little piece, I’ll end up consuming 5+ servings or even more (Costco’s 44 oz tub doesn’t help). You’ve been warned!

they dont carry it anymore, havent seen it there for about a week, sure liked the stuff glad i got 3 cantainers hen i did
I can’t find it at Costco in Rochester MN anymore either! Loved it and am disappointed they no longer carry it.
Make it yourself…here’s the recipe:
2 Cups peanut butter filled pretzels
1 1/2 cups mini peanut butter cups
1 cup peanut butter baking chips
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup Reeses Pieces
1 cup roasted, salted, peanuts
Add all the ingredients to a large bow
Mix together using a spoon or spatula
My Granddaughters love this. Why did costco stop selling it? The price on Amazon is ridiculous
Making it yourself costs about $8 – $9 a pound, so it ends up being about 3x. Sweeties of AZ stopped carrying the peanut butter filled pretzels.
My son asked about it being gone, and was told that shipping would resume in September. As much PB as was in it – maybe it was melting in the summer heat (on trucks ) ?
That is interesting and very well may be the reason these aren’t available everywhere right now. Hopefully, they make it back to Costco sometime soon.
We can’t find it at Costco in jacksonville. Our entire family enjoyed these. Hopefully they will be back soon. Tried calling the 800 number on the container but got no call back.
