Don's Home Food Recipes Furikake Chex

Introduced to me by Michelle.

Ingredents
THE CEREAL AND CHIP MIX
1 box Wheat Chex
1 box Corn Chex
1 box Honeycomb cereal
1 bag (any size) Fritos
1 bag (any size) Bugles
1 bag (any size and shape) pretzels

THE BUTTER-SOY SAUCE SYRUP
1 cup butter
 cup Karo Syrup (or honey or maple syrup)
 cup sugar
 cup vegetable oil
2 tablespoons Soy Sauce
1 bottle Nori Goma Furikake
 (Furikake is a Japanese seasoning made of
   nori (seaweed), dried bonito, and sesame seeds.)

1. Preheat the oven to 250F.
2. In two large pans, divide the Wheat (or Rice) Chex, Corn Chex, Honeycomb cereal, Bugles, Fritos, and Pretzels, evenly between the two pans. Set aside.
3. Now make the syrup. Melt the butter in a saucepan. Once melted, add in the Karo Syrup (or honey), sugar, vegetable oil, and soy sauce. Stir to mix.
4. Pour the syrup over the two pans of chex mix, make sure to divide the syrup equally between the two pans. Using two big spoons/spatulas, toss the chex mix until all the pieces are evenly coated with the syrup.
5. Then pour in the whole bottle of Nori Goma Furikake, split between the two pans. Stir until the furikake is mixed evenly.
6. Bake at 250F for 1 hour. Take the pan out every 15 minutes to toss/mix to make sure it cooks evenly.
7. Remove from oven, let cool. Then divide up into bags/containers and share. Everyone loves Furikake Chex Mix!

• This is a flexible recipe. Feel free to change up the Bugles, Fritos, and Pretzels..include more/less of any or skip them entirely. Other popular ingredients people also add are peanuts, Cheetos, and Goldfish. Just make sure to keep the three "essentials" which are: 1 box each of the Wheat Chex (or Rice Chex), Corn Chex, and Honeycomb cereal.
• The classic Hawaii recipe calls for Karo Syrup, but in an effort to be "healthier," many updated recipes now call for Honey instead of Karo Syrup. You can also try it with Maple Syrup! It's delicious either way.
