I believe the answer is:

chews

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'items from pick n mix?' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.

'said to pick' is the wordplay.
'said' indicates a 'sounds like' (homophone) clue.
'to pick' becomes 'choose' (I've seen this before).
'choose' is a homophone of 'CHEWS'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chews that I've seen before include "Does something with tooth" , "bites" , "toffees" , "Masticates" .)
