A delicious snack mix filled with chex cereal, pretzels, mochi bites, and almonds. This Sriracha furikake Chex mix is sweet and savory with just a hint of spicy, perfect for snacking.
Ingredients
½ cup butter
½ cup granulated sugar
½ cup corn or vegetable oil
½ cup corn syrup
2½ tablespoons soy sauce
1½ tablespoons Sriracha hot sauce
6 cups Chex rice cereals
5 cups mini pretzels
4 cups mochi nuggets or rice crackers
1 cup roasted almonds
1 bottle 1.9 ounce nori furikake rice seasoning
Directions:
Preheat the oven to 225F.
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper.
Melt the butter and granulated sugar in a small pot over low heat. Once the sugar has melted, remove from heat and mix in vegetable oil, corn syrup, Sriracha, and soy sauce until well incorporated.
Place Chex cereal, mini pretzels, and mochi bites into a large mixing bowl. Pour the butter mixture over the cereal mixture and tossed until well coated. Pour the whole bottle of furikake seasoning into the mixing bowl. Toss until all the cereal is covered in the seasoning.
Divide cereal mixture onto the baking sheets. Try to place them in a single layer so that they will bake evenly. Bake the snack mix for about an hour or until the cereal is dry. Remove the Chex mix from the oven every 15 minutes and toss to prevent the cereal from browning too quickly or becoming burnt. Ovens sometimes have hot spots.
Let the Sriracha furikake chex mix cool before placing them into airtight containers.
Serve the Sriracha furikake chex mix as a snack or if you’re looking for a homemade gift, you can put these in mason jars and give them out as gifts.
