We are a house of snackers. American snacks like chips and salsa, tapenade and crackers, guacamole, hummus, and my son's most recent, warm Jalapeno cheese sauce.
And then there are the "Hawaii" snacks. Our recent Christmas haul was especially bountiful. One of our favorite treats for Christmas is the Big Island Delights Furikake Snack Mix. It's only made on the Big Island, and even if you find it on Oahu, it's pretty expensive for 'snacks' (around $10!) for a chips-sized bag. Once we open the bag, any one of us can eat the whole thing. Quickly.

My son hit upon the brilliant idea that we could actually make furikake chex mix. And so we (OK, he and my husband) did. This makes a lot of snack mix, but in our house, this is not a problem.
We also convince ourselves that because it uses cereal, it might be healthy. While it's not exactly un-healthy, and definitely healthier than say, the caramel-rocky-road popcorn with caramelized pecans (another blog should be devoted to this masterpiece) that we received and devoured for Christmas, this still sits squarely in the category of snack food.
