Furikake Chex Mix

1. 6 c. cereal: Corn Chex, Rice Chex, Honeycomb
2. (I like 3c. Rice Chex, 1c. Corn Chex, and 2c. Honeycomb)
3. 1 c. pretzels (I used pretzel goldfish, because, hey, they're cute)
4. 0.5 c. butter
5. 1/4 c. + 2 T. sugar
6. 1/4 c. + 2 T. corn syrup
7. 1.5 T. soy sauce (shoyu here in the islands)
8. 1 T. worcestershire sauce
9. 1/4 c. oil
10. Dash red pepper
11. 2-3 T. furikake

Line a large roasting pan with foil. You'll be glad you did this, because the syrup gets super-sticky as it bakes. Heat oven to 250 degF. Pour cereals and pretzels into pan.
In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium-low heat and stir in sugar until it dissolves. Add corn syrup, soy sauce, worcestershire sauce, oil, and pepper. Pour syrup over cereal in pan and stir well to coat.
Bake for about an hour - maybe longer - until it is crunchy. Stir every 10 minutes. Stir in the furikake after 20 minutes. If you don't have furikake, you can do what others have suggested and use a mix of toasted sesame seeds and a little salt.
Make sure you store this quickly in an airtight container or bag because it sucks up moisture and gets sticky quickly, even if you don't live in the middle of an ocean.
