White Trash Mix
1 1/2 to 1 3/4 lbs. white chocolate
1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 cups Cheerios cereal
3 cups Quaker Cinnamon Life cereal
3 cups Rice Chex cereal
1 lb. milk chocolate M & M's
2 cups unsalted OR salted peanuts
2 cups small pretzel sticks
Break up extremely large white chocolate pieces, using a heavy blade knife. Medium to medium large chunks of chocolate are fine. I use a cutting board, covered with a clean cotton kitchen towel. Melt chocolate in double boiler over hot water. Stir in the oil, while chocolate is at melting stage. In a large bowl, mix the remaining ingredients. I use a large bowl, then transfer some of the mix to another medium-large bowl, to ease when you need to stir. Pour melted chocolate over mix, then stir to coat completely. Spread onto waxed paper to air dry. Cool, then break into small pieces and store in an airtight container.
