White Trash Recipe
Description
This snack mix uses equal parts of Rice Chex, plain Cheerios, mini pretzels, M&M’s candy, and peanuts, which come together for a diverse texture and flavor profile. The white almond bark is melted gently and poured over the cereal mixture to bind the pieces with a sweet, creamy coating.
Once combined, the mixture is spread onto parchment or wax paper and allowed to set and harden for about an hour before breaking into pieces. The contrast of crunchy cereals and salty nuts with the sweet candy and coating gives a familiar, casual snack mix experience often popular in social or holiday settings.
For holiday variation, colored M&M’s and sprinkles can be added before setting. The snack holds well stored at room temperature in an airtight container for up to two weeks, making it convenient for advance preparation or gifting.
Ingredients
- 2 cups rice chex cereal
- 2 cups Cheerios cereal plain
- 2 cups pretzels mini
- 2 cups M&M’s candy
- 1-2 cups peanuts salted or unsalted
- 1 (24-ounce) package almond bark white
Instructions
- In a large bowl, combine Chex, Cheerios, pretzels, M&M’s, and peanuts.
- Break almond bark into pieces and melt in a medium pot over low heat, stirring constantly until smooth.
- Pour melted bark over the cereal mixture and mix well.
- Spread out onto wax paper or a parchment paper–lined baking sheet. Let set for 1 hour, then break into pieces to serve.
Notes
- For a festive variation, use holiday-colored M&M’s and add sprinkles before the coating sets.
- Store the set snack mix in an airtight container or bag at room temperature for 10–14 days.
