Furikake Chex Mix

One of my all time favorite desserts is Chex Mix, but with a Japanese kick to it.  This dessert can work well as an all day type of dessert to always please your tastebuds, and always leaving them wanting more.  This dessert, Furikake Chex Mix, is simple to make and easy to eat.
Furikake Chex Mix is basically Kellogs Crispix Cereal coated with sweet syrup allowing the Furikake (small flakes of seaweed and sesame seeds) to cling on to top the sweet dessert with an extra kick.

 Ingredients:

-1/4 cup butter

-1/4 cup light corn syrup
-1/4 cup sugar
-1 tablespoons soy sauce
-1/4 cup vegetable oil
-1 (13 ounce) box Kellogs Crispix Cereal
-1/2 (2 ounce) bottle nori goma Furikake     (can get at Japanese Market)

Baking Steps:

1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees Fahrenheit.
2. Heat butter, corn syrup, sugar, soy sauce, and vegetable oil until sugar is dissolved and mixture is well blended.
3. Pour syrup mixture as evenly as you can over the cereal. It might seem insufficient initially but keep stirring until every cereal is filled with syrup. Be careful when stirring to make sure you don't crush the cereal. Then, sprinkle as much Furikake as you want over the mix . 
4. Spread in a shallow roasting pan and bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes.
5. Cool for about 30 minutes – 1 hour and store in an air tight container until ready to serve.
6. Eat up!

Furikake Chex Mix is one of my childhood favorite desserts, that always brings back memories.  Just thinking about it makes my mouth water.  I always love walking into my grandma's house and smelling the heated, sweet, corn syrup fill the house.  I hope you guys can try making this easy dessert and taste the amazing sweet, crunchy, and salty goodness.
