White Trash Chex Mix Food

WHITE TRASH CHEX MIX

Steps:

• Line 2 rimmed baking sheets (or 1 very large baking sheet) with wax paper. Set aside.
• Add rice chex, cheerios, pretzels, peanuts and m&m candies in a very large bowl and stir to combine.
• In a large microwave-safe bowl, add white chocolate, vegetable oil (if using), and microwave on MED power (50%) for 1 minute 30 seconds, stirring every 30 seconds.
• If needed, microwave again, in 15 second intervals, stirring after each cooking interval, until chocolate is JUST melted.
• Pour melted chocolate over ingredients in large mixing bowl and use a rubber spatula to gently stir, until all ingredients are coated.
• Spread out onto prepared baking sheet in an even layer. Let sit for 1 hour, or until set and hard. You can refrigerate the baking sheets to speed up this process if you'd like. Break apart into pieces and enjoy!

ALTON BROWN'S WHITE TRASH

Steps:

• Dump the cereals, M&Ms, nuts & pretzels in a large bowl.
• Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler. Melt very slowly, stirring occasionally, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
• Dump melted chocolate over the rest of the ingredients and fold over and over until you have well-coated hunks and chunks.
• Spread the whole mess out on parchment paper and set in a cool place until it sets up, then break it into pieces.
• Store in zip-top bags or air-tight containers.

WHITE TRASH SNACK MIX (MICROWAVE)

Steps:

• Melt chocolate chips, peanut butter, margarine and vanilla in microwave 1-1.5 minutes.
• Pour over chex.
• Stir to coat.
• Toss in bag with powdered sugar.

WHITE TRASH CANDY SNACK

Steps:

• Mix all of the dry ingredients in a large bowl.
• Melt the white chocolate chips in the microwave and then pour into the bowl with the dry ingredients.
• Lay the mixture flat on cookie sheets and refrigerate until hardened.
• Remove from refrigerator and break the mixture apart.

WHITE TRASH PARTY MIX

Steps:

• Mix the cereals, peanuts, pretzels and M&M's together in a very large container.
• Melt the almond bark. I do this by placing it all in a large bowl and microwaving on high for 2-3 minutes, stirring and repeating until it is melted.
• Pour over the cereal mixture and mix well.
• Lay out on a table or a long counter and break apart. Allow to dry, breaking apart as needed.
• Store tightly covered.

WHITE TRASH SNACK MIX/CANDY

Steps:

• melt almond bark over LOW heat in a double boiler stirring frequently.
• I suggest mixing a handful of all ingredients EXCEPT powdered sugar to see if you like more pretzels or more chex or whatever.
• I just fold in the cereals, pretzels, & pecans into melted bark until well coated. I didn't measure any of it, I just kept adding more until all pieces were covered well with bark, but there wasn't a ton of extra bark at the bottom of the pan.
• Spoon mixture onto waxed paper or foil in large bite-size clumps. (I use wax paper on a cookie sheet for easier transfer to the fridge.) Move into the fridge for fast cooling if you like. When bark has set, put all the pieces in a large tupperware type container or large ziploc bag. Sprinkle the powdered sugar all over, then shake the container to spread it around well.
• Enjoy!
