Personal Notes:
Personal Notes:
Okoshi is a Japanese puffed cereal snack. This recipe is from my friend in Honolulu, Hawaii.
Variations: 1/4 cup chopped macadamia nuts or peanuts can be added with the puffed rice mixture if desired.

** The trick is to mix QUICKLY. This recipe may be difficult to make the first time, but it is worth a second try, because it is so tasty.
