Step-by-Step Instructions for White Trash
In a very large mixing bowl, combine 4 cups each of Rice Chex and Corn Chex cereals, 2 cups of mini pretzels, and 2 cups of salted cocktail peanuts. Gently toss together until evenly mixed.
Melt 24 ounces of vanilla almond bark in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second intervals, stirring after each until completely melted and smooth, about 1.5 to 2 minutes.
Carefully pour the melted vanilla almond bark over the cereal and pretzel mixture, folding gently until every piece is coated with the almond bark.
Allow the mixture to cool for 1 to 2 minutes; then, fold in 1.5 cups of M&M’s, being careful not to crush them.
Transfer the mixture onto a large sheet of parchment paper or a lined baking sheet. Spread it into an even layer and let it sit at room temperature for about 30 minutes to set.
Once set, break the White Trash mix into clusters with your hands or a spatula. Serve immediately or store in an airtight container.
