On tonight's "Dear Food Network - Holiday", Alton said his favorite Christmas candy was "White Trash" (which I have heard about) and that his family makes a bunch of it each year, but he tries to give a lot of it away or he'll end up eating all of it. Anyway... someone at Recipezaar had posted a copy of Alton's recipe for the candy that he had posted on his website at one time. It's like Chex mix meets chocolate to make a bark.
Alton Brown's White Trash
Ingredients - 3 1/2 cups Cheerios toasted oat cereal
- 3 cups Rice Chex
- 3 cups Corn Chex
- 16 ounces M&Ms plain chocolate candies
- 2 1/2 cups salted mixed nuts
- 2 cups small pretzels
- 2 (11 ounce) packages white chocolate chips (Ghirardelli brand preferred)
Directions - Dump the cereals, M&Ms, nuts & pretzels in a large bowl.
- Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler. Melt very slowly, stirring occasionally, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
- Dump melted chocolate over the rest of the ingredients and fold over and over until you have well-coated hunks and chunks.
- Spread the whole mess out on parchment paper and set in a cool place until it sets up, then break it into pieces.
- Store in zip-top bags or air-tight containers.
