White Trash or Junk Mix is one of our favorite sweet and salty snacks for the holidays. It's great for parties and family get togethers and made with just a few ingredients.
I made this version with Crispix Cereal, pretzels, M&M's and white chocolate, I skipped the peanuts so the little kids could munch on it too. I love that this comes together in about 10 minutes. A great addition to my Christmas goodie baskets along with caramel popcorn, candied walnuts, caramel Ritz cookies and peanut brittle.

I've always called this junk mix but it seems like most people call it white trash or Christmas crack. Whatever you call it, it's completely addictive and makes the best snack. I seriously have to get it divided up and passed around to friends and neighbors because I cannot stay out of it.
