So when I found a recipe for makeshift arare in our church cookbook, I had to try it! It uses rice Chex cereal as a base, which is perfect!
Other ingredients are: oil (it called for veggie oil but I only had olive on hand), soy sauce, corn syrup, furikake (I used plain salt and nori kind), sugar and butter. Here's a very close recipe I found online, though ours didn't include corn Chex.
Melting the butter and mixing up the ingredients was pretty nasty. Butter and soy sauce don't normally go together!
Pour the sauce over the cereal...
Then we toasted the cereal in the oven at a low heat for an hour. Every fifteen minutes we'd take it out and mix it up again to keep it even.
All done!
This stuff is seriously addicting. Salty and sweet and crunchy! Yum! We made a batch at Thanksgiving, and since it makes such good party food, we'll be making more for Christmas I'm sure!
Do you have a favorite Chex cereal recipe? I have one more box to use up!
I'm totally going to have to try this!! Thanks for the link! My favorite Chex recipe is a classic: Muddy Buddies. I use Rice Chex for them. It's kind of funny this comes up today because yesterday at the store, I found that Chex has packs of pre-made Muddy Buddies (but w/Corn Chex) at the store! Can't be the same, though, as making it fresh at home. =)
