I LOVE WHITE TRASH

I LOVE WHITE TRASH!  That totally sounds like a country song, doesn't it?  (Which is why I don't listen to country). 
  White Trash- it is awesome!  What is white trash?   It is a simple, very tasty holiday treat.   I make a batch of this every year and the only bad thing about it is that it gets eaten too quickly.  It is great to bag some up or put some in a pretty container to give out as a small gift (or send to a college student).

Here is how you make it:


10 oz. mini pretzels
5 cups Cheerios
5 cups Rice Chex
2 cups SALTED peanuts
1 pound m&m's (usually I use plain, but I grabbed the peanut m&m's this time, so that's what we used today)
2-12 ounce packs of vanilla chips
3 tablespoons vegetable oil

Mix first 5 ingredients in a large bowl.  Melt the chips and oil together in microwave (careful not to burn), toss all together until coated.   Place on wax paper until white chocolate hardens.
