How to Make White Chocolate Trash
Ingredients:
- 6 cups Corn Chex Cereal
- 6 cups small pretzels
- 1 16-oz jar dry roasted peanuts
- 1 11-oz bag plain M&M’s
- 2 12-oz bags white chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- Sprinkles (optional)
Directions:
- Combine the Corn Chex cereal, pretzels, dry roasted peanuts, and M&M’s in a very large bowl. For easier stirring, you might want to divide the ingredients between two bowls.
- Line two baking sheets with wax or parchment paper and set them aside.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil. Heat this mixture in the microwave, stirring every 30 seconds until the chocolate is melted. Be careful not to overheat the chocolate, as it can seize up if it starts to burn.
- Once melted, pour the white chocolate over the dry ingredients and gently fold everything together until well combined.
- Spoon the mixture onto the lined baking sheets, spreading it out to cover the pans. If you like, you can add sprinkles on top.
- Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator to cool until set.
- After it is set, break the cooled mixture into chunks and store it in an airtight container at room temperature.
