USING MAPLE SYRUP INSTEAD OF CORN SYRUP

To make furikake Chex combine, you want to put together a candy glaze. After I first realized methods to cook dinner this dish, I adopted recipes that used a substantial quantity of sugar and corn syrup for the glaze. I don’t cook dinner with corn syrup usually, and I believed it was foolish to purchase a bottle simply to make a batch of Chex combine. Furthermore, I discovered the Chex combine produced from these recipes to be a bit too candy for my tastes.

Over time, I began experimenting with the glaze by chopping out the sugar completely and changing corn syrup with maple syrup. I liked the outcomes! The slight trace of caramel taste in maple syrup works so properly for the glaze. 

BROWNING THE BUTTER

On a whim, I made a decision to brown the butter for the glaze as an alternative of merely melting the butter. I believed the malty taste within the browned butter complimented the maple syrup within the glaze very properly and elevated the flavors of the Chex combine total. 

To brown butter, soften the butter in a saucepan over the range. Preserve heating and stirring the melted butter till the milk solids within the butter begin to brown. As soon as the butter begins browning, play shut consideration to the butter as a result of it will probably go from brown to burnt in a short time.

Proper when the butter begins to go from a caramel brown colour to a darker brown (like the colour of medium-roast espresso beans), flip off the warmth. I like so as to add the maple syrup to the saucepan instantly to forestall the butter from browning additional and probably burn. 

CHEX MIX INGREDIENTS

Within the unique recipe that I revealed in 2017, I used a mix of corn Chex, pretzels, and combined nuts (pecans, walnuts, cashews, and almonds). I like to alter issues up from time to time by including popcorn or Bugles to the combination, which I word within the recipe. I’ve even seen some folks add Honeycomb cereal or Goldfish crackers. Be at liberty to mess around with the substances for the snack combine. 

BE PATIENT WHEN BAKING THE CHEX MIX

I wish to again the furikake Chex combine at 250ºF (120ºC) for 1 hour. I do know it’s tempting to wish to crank up the warmth to shorten the baking time however resist the urge to take action! Baking the Chex combine at a decrease temperature for an extended interval makes the snack combine additional crunchy with out burning the sugars.
