  4. Step 4: Add Flavorings - Drizzle the melted butter over the mixture, then add the white vinegar and salt. Fold until well coated.
  5. Step 5: Incorporate Almonds - Add the Blue Diamond Salt 'n Vinegar Almonds to the bowl and fold them in evenly.
  6. Step 6: Spread on Baking Sheet - Spread the snack mix evenly onto a large baking sheet.
  7. Step 7: Toast in Oven - Bake for about 30 minutes, stirring every 10 minutes until golden and crispy.
  8. Step 8: Cool and Serve - Let it cool completely on the baking sheet before transferring to an airtight container.
