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.

Time 2h5m

Yield 12 1 cup, 12 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

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.

I love this recipe! It's so easy to make and the Chex mix always turns out perfectly. I also like that I can customize it to my liking. For example, I sometimes add extra furikake or nuts.

I was a bit skeptical about this recipe at first, but I'm so glad I tried it! The flavors of the furikake and the Chex mix go together perfectly. I also love the crunch of the Chex mix. I will definitely be making this again.
