Steve's Often Copied Never Duplicated Furikake Chex Mix
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.
Steps
Preheat the oven to 250 degrees f.
Mix together all the cereals , pretzels , and peanuts in a large baking pan.
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.
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.
Store in an air-tight container or ziplock bags.
