Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 6 cups Rice Chex cereal
- 6 cups Corn Chex cereal
- 3 cups Mini pretzels
- 2 cups Peanuts (salted or unsalted)
- 2 cups M&M's candy
- 3 cups White chocolate chips or candy melts
- 1 tablespoon Vegetable oil or shortening (optional, for melting chocolate)
Instructions
Start by lining two large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and setting them aside.
In a large mixing bowl, combine the Rice Chex cereal, Corn Chex cereal, mini pretzels, peanuts, and M&M's candy. Toss gently to evenly mix.
In a microwave-safe bowl, add the white chocolate chips or candy melts. If desired, add 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil or shortening to help the chocolate melt smoothly.
Microwave the white chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring well between intervals, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal mixture in the large mixing bowl. Use a rubber spatula to gently fold the mixture until all the ingredients are evenly coated with the melted chocolate.
Spread the coated mixture out onto the prepared baking sheets in an even layer. Allow it to cool and harden completely, about 30-45 minutes, at room temperature.
Once the mixture is set, break it into bite-sized clusters. Serve immediately, or transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Enjoy your White Trash Snack Mix as a party snack, a movie-night treat, or a festive gift!
