Time 1h20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 pounds animal crackers
2/3 cups (1 bottle) furikake
1/2 cup (1 block) butter
1/3 cup sugar
1 teaspoon sea salt
1/3 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup vegetable oil

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 250 degrees. Divide the animal crackers into 2-3 large rimmed sheet pans or roasting pans. Set aside.
  • Next, make the syrup! In a saucepan over medium heat, melt the butter. Add the sugar and salt. Stir until dissolved. Remove from heat, then add the light corn syrup and oil. Stir to mix well.
  • Drizzle the syrup evenly over the animal crackers. Stir gently to mix, try to lightly coat each of the crackers with a bit of the syrup.
  • Sprinkle the furikake all over the crackers. Stir so that the crackers are evenly coated with the furikake.
  • Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes. Let cool, stir every few minutes until completely cool (this helps to keep the animal crackers from sticking to each other as they cool).
  • Note: the crackers may seem moist and soft but will get hard as they cool. Store in an airtight container. Eat and enjoy!
