I have finally come out of my accidental blogging hiatus to bring you this awesome snack mix recipe. Please note that this is for seaweed lovers only. Furikake is a mix of seaweed and sesame seeds and can be found at most Asian grocery stores. It is delicious when eaten with rice and even more so with crispy cereal pieces! I never got why BK loves chex mix until I tried this mix. Of course, I'm a huge seaweed fan so that's probably the difference!
Furikake Chex Mix: adapted from this recipe
Ingredients:
- 1/8 cup butter
- 1/4 cup vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup

- 2 tsp soy sauce
- 8 cups cereal/pretzels/etc
- 1/2 bottle furikake seasoning
Directions:
- Melt butter and brown sugar in a saucepan and then add the oil, corn syrup, and soy sauce. Stir on medium heat until it bubbles and forms a syrup-like texture
- Measure out 8 cups of cereal (I love Crispix and Honeycomb) or other add ins like pretzels, nuts, bugles in a large bowl
- Pour the syrup and mix immediately into the cereal
- Sprinkle furikake and mix more
