White Trash

This is an adaptation of Alton Brown's White Trash holiday mix. It has a strange name but it is a yummy concoction of cereals, pretzels and nuts with white chocolate. Okay, it's not baking, but it is a tasty treat!!

Two 11 ounce bags of white chocolate chips (Ghiardelli works well)
3.5 Cups Cheerios
3 Cups Rice Chex (small box)
3 Cups Corn Chex (ditto)
1 Pound plain M&Ms
2.5 Cups mixed nuts (salted, no peanuts)
2 Cups small pretzels (Eagle Snacks work well)

Take a large metal mixing bowl and place over a pot with a little water-you will be making a double boiler to melt the chocolate but will then add in the remaining ingredients, so a big bowl works really well.

Dump in the chips in the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula (every now and then) until they’ve melted smooth. You can walk away from time to time but be careful not to let the water get to hot or the cocoa butter will bog.

Dump everything else except the M&M (see note below) in the bowl and fold over and over until the hunks and chunks are well coated.

Spread the mixture out on parchment paper or freezer paper and set in a cool place until it sets solid, then break it into pieces and seal in tins.

Note: I noticed that when the chocolate mixture is hot to warm and you add the colored M&M's, they bleed the color a little make a messier looking mixture. Addding at the end or when totally cooled works better and yields a more attractive mix.

Spread the word
