Equipment
- 9x13" baking pan
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup unsalted butter 1/2 stick
- 1/4 cup flavorless oil like canola or vegetable
- 1/4 cup light corn syrup
- 1/2 cup granulated sugar
- 1 tbsp Japanese soy sauce
- 1 box Crispix cereal (or Chex)
- Various Mix-ins optional, see note
- 1/2 bottle nori furikake
Instructions
- Preheat oven to 250 degrees F.
- Heat butter, oil, corn syrup, sugar, and soy sauce in a pot on stovetop, stirring until sugar is dissolved. Take off the heat.
- Pour cereal and mix-ins into a 9x13" baking pan and drizzle syrup on top (alternatively, you can pour the cereal directly into the pot with the syrup and then transfer to the baking dish). Stir to combine.

- Bake your chex mix for one hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool and serve. Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature.
