Description

Sinful white trash recipe blends trailer park charm with gourmet indulgence. Quick-fix snack celebrates Southern creativity with unexpected ingredients, promising delicious results you’ll crave.


Ingredients

Scale
  • 1.5 cups white chocolate chips or melting wafers (10 oz / 280 g)
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil or coconut oil (optional, for smoother melting)
  • 3 cups Rice Chex or Corn Chex cereal
  • 2 cups pretzels (mini twists or sticks)
  • 1 cup salted peanuts (or mixed nuts)
  • 1 cup M&Ms (holiday-themed for a festive touch)

Instructions

  1. Preparation: Assemble a large mixing bowl and gather Rice Chex, pretzels, peanuts, and M&Ms to create a harmonious blend of textures and flavors.
  2. Mixing: Gently fold the dry ingredients together, ensuring an even distribution throughout the container, creating a colorful and inviting base.
  3. Chocolate Transformation: Use a microwave or double boiler to melt white chocolate chips, stirring carefully to achieve a smooth, glossy consistency without burning.
  4. Coating: Drizzle the liquefied white chocolate over the dry ingredients, using a silicone spatula to thoroughly and uniformly coat every morsel with a luxurious chocolate layer.
  5. Setting: Spread the coated mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet in a thin, consistent layer, then allow it to set at room temperature or expedite the process by placing it in the refrigerator.
  6. Portioning: Once fully hardened, break the consolidated mixture into rustic, bite-sized clusters using gentle hand movements, creating an artisanal and appealing presentation.
  7. Storage: Transfer the finished treat to a decorative serving bowl or airtight container, preserving its crisp texture and ensuring optimal enjoyment for up to one week.

Notes

  • Prevent Chocolate Burning: Melt white chocolate slowly using low heat, stirring frequently to avoid scorching and maintain smooth texture.
  • Ensure Even Coating: Use a silicone spatula to gently fold ingredients, guaranteeing each piece gets completely covered with white chocolate for consistent flavor.
  • Control Cooling Speed: Let mixture set at room temperature for natural hardening, or refrigerate for faster setting, depending on time constraints and desired texture.
  • Store Strategically: Keep in airtight container at room temperature for maximum freshness, consuming within a week to maintain crisp quality and prevent staleness.
