Pour the sauce over the snack mix and toss to coat well. Spread out on a rimmed baking sheet and bake until the mix is toasted and almost completely dry, 16 to 18 minutes, tossing about halfway through.
Remove from the oven and stir in the onions and jerky. Let cool completely, and then store in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
