STEVE'S OFTEN COPIED, NEVER DUPLICATED, FURIKAKE CHEX MIX

Steve's Often Copied, Never Duplicated, Furikake Chex Mix image

This is a sweet and spicy Asian variation of Chex mix. There are times I have made this by the bucketful, and it still runs out at parties. I often give this out as Christmas or hostess gifts. Be very careful. This party mix is HIGHLY addictive, very dangerous to keep around in big quantities and may result in some weight gain!This recipe is a combination of a few recipes, one from foodgeeks.com and another from beanpaste.blogspot.com. It also has a few of my own personal touches.

Yield 12 1 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

Ingredients

2 cups Rice Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Wheat Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups Corn Chex or 2 cups Crispix cereal
2 cups honeycomb cereal (optional)
2 cups pretzel sticks (I use Rold Gold brand)
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
1 cup butter
3/4 cup sugar
3/4 cup light corn syrup
3 tablespoons soy sauce (I use Kikkoman. Hawaii people, DO NOT USE Aloha Brand for this!!!)
1/2 cup oil
2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce
1 teaspoon Tabasco sauce
1 (2 ounce) bottle Nori Goma Furikake (I prefer Nori Komi Furikake, but it wouldn't let me input Nori Komi Furikake, Mishima brand)

Steps:

Preheat the oven to 250 degrees F.
Mix together all the cereals, pretzels, and peanuts in a large baking pan (The tin foil ones that you can buy from the store to roast turkey works really well!).
Divide the mixture between two pans.
In a medium-sized sauce pan over medium to medium-high heat, melt butter.
Add sugar and dissolve well.
Add corn syrup, soy sauce, oil, Worcestershire sauce, and Tabasco Sauce. Stir until blended well. It works best if you heat till it reaches the hard ball stage (about 250 degrees).
Pour over cereal mixture, one pan at a time, and mix well.
Put into the oven.
After 15 minutes, remove from oven, and add one bottle of furikake to each pan. Mix around to evenly distribute furikake and sauce from the bottom.
Continue baking for about 1-2 hours, stirring every 15 minutes.
The cooking time fluauates depending on how crispy you want it, and how humid it is (making this in 90% humidity is a nightmare!).
Store in an air-tight container or ziplock bags.

FURIKAKE CHEX MIX

Furikake Chex Mix image

Number Of Ingredients 11

Ingredients

1 box Crispix or Chex cereal
1/2 bags Pretzel Sticks
1/4 box Honey Comb cereal
1/2 bags Bugles
1/2 box Honey Nut Cheerios
1/2 cup Butter
1/2 cup Karo Syrup or any light corn syrup
1/2 cup Sugar
1/2 cup Vegetable Oil or Canola Oil
2 tablespoon Soy Sauce
1 bottle Furikake Seaweed and Seasame Seed Seasoning

Steps:

Preheat the oven at 250 degrees
In a sauce pan, heat butter, corn syrup, vegetable oil, soy sauce and sugar, until the sugar dissolves. Let cool.
Pour cereal into a foil baking pan and toss. If you plan to reuse the baking pan, line it with foil before because cereal does get stuck on the bottom.
Pour butter-syrup mixture over the cereal and toss gently.
Sprinkle furikake evenly and toss.
Bake at 250 for 1 hour, tossing ever 15 mins.
Cool and store in an air-tight container
You can substitute the cereal and chips with your favorites; I use whatever I have in the cabinet. I've done different mixes with Cheerios, Bugles, honey-roasted peanuts, etc., "broke the mouth," deliciousness!

FURIKAKE CHEX MIX

Furikake Chex Mix image

I use 3 cups Rice Chex and 3 cups Corn Chex, but will submit as posted on Foodjimoto.com. It is ADDICTIVE! Please make sure you do not take it out of the oven too soon, it will be sticky and not crunchy. 1/5/12 here is a description of Furikake as suggested by Foodtvfan:" Furikake seasoning is like the salt and pepper of Japan. It is a table condiment made of roasted tan and black sesame seed, green nori flakes and pickle red shiso(beefsteak) leaves". Thanks Foodtvfan. In addition to this flavor, Furikake comes in multiple different flavors.

If you can't find furikake, you can make your own. There are many recipes available online.

Furikake Chex Mix is a great snack for parties, picnics, or road trips.
