White Trash

White Trash is a party mix/snack my brother makes up every year during Christmas. Consisting of Cheerios and Chex brand cereals, pretzels, peanuts and white chocolate, this sweet and crunchy mix is a popular favorite and an easy one to bring to parties. It's a standing 'must bring' to several of the holiday gatherings I'll be going to.

If you want to make your own, you'll need:

* 9 cups assorted unsweetened cereals (Cheerios, any of the Chex)
* 3 cups salted nuts
* 2 cups pretzel sticks
* 2 - 12 ounce packages (4 cups) white chocolate chips

Cover large surface with waxed or parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, mix together cereals, nuts and pretzels. In a microwavable bowl, melt white chocolate chips in microwave on 70 percent power for 1 minute. Stir. If necessary, continue to microwave in 10 to 15 second increments until melted. Stir melted chocolate into cereal mixture until well coated. Quickly spread out over covered surface. Once cooled, break-up and store in resealable containers or bags.
