Wow, you have a lot of stuff for your new hermies! How deep are you making the substrate? After you get the hermit crabs it may also be a good idea to give them a source of calcium (crushed eggshell, cuttlebone, etc.) and a source of protein (meat, mealworms, etc.)

a source of protein and calcium should be offered at all times

Welcome to crabbing!
If you haven't had a chance yet, be sure to look at our 'care sheets'. Start with the 'basics' one and then go from there. Peanut butter and popcorn don't have to be just treats, you can offer them any time. The key is to offer a wide variety of foods like vegetables, fruits, grains, meats, leaves - and as mentioned, protein and calcium daily.
One thing I didn't notice on your list is a thermometer and hygrometer - these are needed to keep an eye on the temp and humidity, since crabs need a warm (around 80F) and humid (around 80%) environment.
