White Trash

A wonderfully easy holiday snack, this is a favorite in our house. You can change up the recipe to fit your tastes ... add M&Ms, Reese's Pieces, different pretzels, etc... Whatever makes your munchers happy!

Toss in a large bowl:
2 cups Crispix
2 cups peanuts (I use dry roasted)
2 cups Cheerios
2 cups small pretzels
1/2 - 1 tsp ground cinnamon

Melt 2 cups of white chocolate wafers in a microwave-safe bowl. Pour over dry mix and toss to coat. Spread out on wax paper to dry ... then break apart. Store in an air-tight container (if there's any left over!).

A side note ... making this recipe is similar to making Rice Krispy bars. However, melting wafers set up a little slower than melted marshmallows, so you have a bit more time to get your cereal mix coated. Check out the Wilton web site for tips on melting chocolate wafers.
