Pour in 1/4 cup melted I Can't Believe It's Not Butter!, and stir until the snack mix is completely coated with the herbs and spices and the I Can't Believe It's Not Butter! Spread snack mix evenly in a 15-inch by 10-inch by 1-inch jelly roll pan or other shallow pan or baking dish. Bake at 300 degrees for 10 minutes. Stir, and bake an addional few minutes, checking often to see that the mixture does not get overbrown. This will take 5 or 6 minutes. Remove snack mix from oven and let cool completely. Place snack mix in a serving dish, or store it in a sealed container at room temperature. This is a great snack to munch on while you are watch the basketball tournament games, other sports events, movies, etc. I think you will really like it! --Betty :)
