In a separate small bowl, combine the melted butter, brown sugar, cinnamon, and nutmeg. Stir well to make a sweet and spicy mixture.
Pour the butter mixture over the dry ingredients and toss everything together until the dry ingredients are evenly coated.
Spread the mixture evenly on the baking sheet.
Bake in the preheated oven or smoker for about 45 minutes, stirring every 15 minutes to ensure even coating and prevent sticking.
Add in the candy for the last five minutes just to soften them. Once the snack mix is golden and crispy, remove it from the oven and let it cool completely.
