White Trash

Yea-yea.. You heard me right! This snack is a holiday favorite for anyone who comes around our neck of the woods to visit!





White Trash

4 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
3 1/2 cups Rice Chex
3 1/2 cups Corn Chex
16 ounces M&M's plain chocolate candy
2 cups salted peanuts
2 cups small pretzels (holiday shaped pretzels are fun to throw in!)
1 1/2 lbs White Almond Bark




Throw the cereals, M&Ms, nuts & pretzels in a large bowl.

Melt the white almond bark in the microwave or in a double boiler. Melt very slowly, stirring occasionally, being careful not to burn the chocolate.

Pour melted chocolate over the rest of the ingredients and then toss 'n fold over until you have well-coated piles of white goo! Work fast so as not to let your M&Ms break apart and melt all over the place.

Dump the whole mess out onto parchment paper and spread out. Set aside in a cool place until it sets up, then break it into pieces.

Store in air-tight container.
