1/3 cup soy sauce
2 sticks unsalted butter
3 cups Asian rice cracker mix (7 ounces)
3 cups pretzel nuggets or mini pretzels (8 ounces)
1/2 cup grade B pure maple syrup
1 1/2 pounds roasted mixed salted nuts, such as almonds, cashews, pistachios and peanuts (6 cups)

3 cups sesame sticks (8 ounces)
12 cups Rice Chex cereal (12 ounces)
1 tablespoon Thai red curry paste or sambal oelek

Preheat the oven to 275°. In a large bowl, combine the cereal with the nuts, rice cracker mix, sesame sticks and pretzels.
In a medium saucepan, combine the butter, maple syrup, soy sauce and curry paste and bring to a simmer, whisking to dissolve the curry paste. Pour the mixture over the snack mix and toss to coat completely. Season generously with salt and pepper and spread on 3 large rimmed baking sheets. Bake for 35 minutes, stirring 2 or 3 times and shifting the sheets, until nearly dry and toasted. Let cool completely, stirring occasionally. Serve in bowls.
