Peanut-Raisin Cracker Crunch
About 15 minutes, estimated · 4 portions · No cook

Original commissary-inspired pantry recipe
This is a simple snack mix designed around contrast: sweet raisins, rich peanuts and plain cracker pieces. Keeping the ingredients dry makes it more forgiving than a coated snack.
Place & evidence: Across the country. This is an original pantry recipe. The source supplies ingredient or technique context, rather than evidence that this exact dish is served in a prison. Inventory and place labels describe that context only. FCI Danbury Commissary List.
Make it
Equipment: Clean food-safe bowl or cup; spoon; measuring cup and spoons; a clean suitable utensil for any chopping.
Ingredients
- 1/2 cup roasted peanuts
- 1/3 cup raisins
- 1 cup bite-size cracker pieces
- 1/4 cup chocolate candy pieces
Method
- Check peanuts and raisins for any packaging debris.
- Break crackers into bite-size pieces rather than dust.
- Mix all ingredients in a dry clean bowl.
- Divide into four portions; keep any unused dry ingredients in their original sealed packaging.
The useful detail
Add chocolate only after handling anything warm so it remains in distinct pieces.
When the store is different
Use sunflower kernels if available and suitable for your allergies.
Serving & handling
Keep dry ingredients dry until assembly. Handle the moist finished mixture as perishable, even when the unopened packages were shelf-stable. Read the pantry and food-handling guide for storage limits, package directions and allergen checks.
