White Trash Recipe
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.
