the snack mix
- In a large mixing bowl combine all of the mix ingredients EXCEPT the French's fried onions.
- Pour the butter mixture over the snack mix, and use a silicone spatula to toss everything together. You want a nice even coating of the butter.
- Divide the mix onto the two prepared baking sheets, and spread out into a single layer.
- Bake for about 20-25 minutes.
- Remove from the oven and allow to cool to room temperature. Add the French's fried onions and gently toss everything together. Serve and garnish with more fresh rosemary if desired.
