Crispix Arare – Japanese Style Party Snack Mix
Crispix Arare
A delicious snack that satisfies both sweet and salty cravings. My boyfriend’s mother makes this yummy treat all the time and we all dig in! It’s so addicting and easy to make, give it a try.
Pour yourself a bowl of this crispy sweet and salty goodness. Share with friends, or not.. =)

or - 1/8 c. ao nori (green nori)

Directions:
1. Preheat oven to 250 degrees.
1. Heat margarine, soy sauce, corn syrup, sugar, and oil until sugar dissolves.
2. Pour sugar mixture over cereal in a large bowl. Mix well until cereal is lightly coated.
3. Sprinkle furikake (or ao nori and sesame seeds) evenly over cereal and mix well.
4. Lightly coat two large pans with oil or Pam. Spread cereal mixture onto pans.

This snack also makes for great gifts or party favors. I designed cute holiday labels to package the gifts and put the mix inside a 1/2 quart zip loc bag, attaching the labels with double stick tape. It took a while to finish them all but it was worth it!
