Equipment
Microwave or Stove will be needed to melt almond bark.
Ingredients
1pkg(12oz) almond bark or white candy chips
3cups(120g) Rice Squares (Chex Mix™ generic)
3cups(120g) Corn Squares (Chex Mix™ generic)
3cups(120g) Oat Cereal (Cheerios™ generic)
2cups(84g) pretzels (sticks or mini)
2cups(84g) m&ms™ (or other similar candy)
1cup(125g) powdered sugar
Instructions
Using microwave, place almond bark or white chips into a microwave safe bowl. Microwave for 30 seconds, stir for 10 seconds. Thereafter, microwave 10 - 15 seconds at a time, stirring each time. Do this slowly to avoid burning as white chocolate candies burn easily! This takes anywhere from 1 - 3 minutes depending on your microwave. If using a stove top, heat 1" of water in a pan until just simmering. Place candy in a heat proof bowl that will fit on top of pan and stir continuously until just melted. Remove from heat.
In a large bowl or bag, combine all dry ingredients.
Pour melted candy over ingredients and stir or shake until well coated.
Stir or shake powder sugar on while still warm.
Spread out onto a large baking sheet to dry before storing in an airtight container up to 1 month.
Notes
This white trash recipe uses rice, corn and oat cereals to keep it gluten free. You will have to buy gluten free pretzels or leave them out and substitute the amount of pretzels for one of the cereals. Traditionally, it was used with the rice, corn and wheat so feel free to use any combination of cereals that equal 9 cups (360g.) It is recommended to get cereals that aren't candy or sugar coated as it is already a very sweet concoction. The m&ms™ are optional and originally are omitted from the recipe. I put them in there because I had some leftover.Makes a little over 2 pounds of snack mix (908g.)I personally like to sprinkle the entire mixture with sea salt to help balance out the sweetness but since the cereals and pretzels do contain a lot of salt already, the addition may be too much for those with dietary restrictions.
