Furikake Animal Crackers
 
 
Adapted from Tomoe's recipe

Serves: 1 pound
Ingredients
  • 1 pound animal crackers
  • ⅓ cup furikake
  • ½ stick (2 ounces) vegan Buttery Sticks (or regular butter)
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons granulated sugar
  • 1 scant teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons light corn syrup
  • 2 tablespoons + 2 teaspoons canola oil
Preparation
  1. Heat oven to 250 degrees. Line a rimmed half sheet pan (jelly roll pan) with heavy duty foil.
  2. Pile animal crackers on the foil lined baking sheet. Set aside.
  3. Melt Buttery Stick in a small saucepan over medium-low heat. Add sugar and salt and stir until dissolved. Remove from heat. Add corn syrup and oil. Whisk to combine. Pour syrup over animal crackers. Using disposable gloves, toss crackers with syrup until evenly coated. Sprinkle furikake over crackers and toss again. Bake for 1 hour, stirring every 15 minutes so the crackers bake evenly. Remove pan from oven to cool. If you notice any crackers stuck to one another, split them before they cool completely. The syrup will harden as the crackers cool. Store crackers in tightly sealed containers. I keep mine in the refrigerator.
