Description
White Trash Recipe is a quirky name for a nostalgic treat that combines crunchy cereals, pretzels, peanuts, and candies coated in creamy white chocolate. Despite the humorous name, this recipe delivers a rich, indulgent flavor and satisfying texture. Popular during holidays and parties, this snack mix is also perfect for gifting.
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 3 cups pretzel twists or sticks
- 2 cups dry roasted peanuts
- 2 cups mini marshmallows
- 2 cups holiday colored M&M’s (or your choice of candies)
- 16 oz white chocolate chips or white candy melts
- 1 tsp vegetable oil (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
1. Prepare the Ingredients: In a large mixing bowl, combine Rice Chex, pretzels, peanuts, mini marshmallows, and M&M’s. Mix well to distribute the ingredients evenly.
2. Melt the White Chocolate: Place the white chocolate chips in a microwave safe bowl. Add the vegetable oil for smoother melting if desired.
- Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until fully melted. This typically takes about 1.5 to 2 minutes.
3. Combine and Coat: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture. Use a large spatula or wooden spoon to gently toss the mix until everything is well coated.
4. Spread and Cool: Line a large baking sheet or countertop with parchment paper or wax paper. Spread the coated snack mix in a single layer to cool and set.
5. Break and Serve: Once the white chocolate has hardened (about 30 minutes), break the mixture into bite sized pieces. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container for up to two weeks.
Notes
- Ingredient Variations: Add dried cranberries, shredded coconut, or crushed candy canes for a festive twist.
- Storage Tips: Keep the mix in an airtight container at room temperature. Avoid refrigerating as it may make the white chocolate lose its glossy texture.
- Allergy Friendly Options: Replace peanuts with almonds or omit nuts entirely for a nut free version. Gluten free pretzels and cereal can also be used.
