Instructions
Preheat oven to 250°.
In a medium-sized mixing bowl put in all the dry ingredients.
In a small saucepot, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Once melted, add the sugar and stir to dissolve.
Next, add the corn syrup and vegetable oil and stir to combine. The mixture will start to bubble up and thicken. Add the soy and Worchestershire sauce and stir. Reduce the heat to low and cook about 1 minute.
Remove from heat and pour over the dry ingredients. Using a rubber spatula stir to combine. Make sure all the popcorn and crackers are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with foil and spray with cooking/nonstick spray so the mixture will not stick.
Pour the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Sprinkle with the furikake and stir gently with the rubber spatula to coat all pieces with some of the seasoning.
Bake in the oven for 1 hour. Stir every 15 minutes. The snack mix will slowly cook to ensure it dries out so that the sauce and seasoning stick.
Let cool about 15 minutes before enjoying.
Store in an air-tight container. Try to enjoy within 2 days as it can become chewy as it ages.
