White Trash
Woo! A celebrity-guest recipe!
"When the Santa season comes to town, folks always ask me to share my Holiday food traditions. Well, to tell you the truth, I don�t trade too much on traditions but I never let a Yuletide slide without cranking out a bushel or two of this ridiculously addictive confection. I�m not about to claim authorship over this recipe because it�s been around, in one guise or another, for a decade or two.
"By the way, this isn�t so much a recipe as a series of guidelines."
Ingredients
2 (two) 11-ounce bags of white chocolate chips (I like Ghirardelli but that�s just me. And yes, I know that there�s not really any such thing as white chocolate � it�s �white confectioner�s coating� - but come on � who doesn�t really just call it white chocolate?)
3½ cups Cheerios
3 cups Rice Chex (small box)
3 cups Corn Chex (ditto)
1 pound plain M&Ms
2½ cups mixed nuts (salted; no peanuts)
2 cups small pretzels (Eagle Snacks work well)
Directions
- Get a really big metal bowl and place it over a large sauce pan/pot containing about an inch of water. Put this over medium heat.
- Dump in the chips in the bowl and stir with a rubber spatula (every now and then) until they�ve melted smooth. You can walk away from time to time but be careful not to let the water get too hot or the cocoa butter will bog.
- Dump everything else in the bowl and fold over and over until the hunks and chunks are well coated.
- Spread the mess out on parchment paper or freezer paper and set in a cool place until it sets solid, then break it into pieces and seal in tins.
"Dole this stuff out carefully. It is highly habit forming.
"Happy Holidays, kids."

I like how we're pretending Alton Brown looks at our website now.

I found the recipe on his site and wanted to move it over here without stealing it. Plus it gets him traffic. Win-win.

Just FYI, I received an autographed copy of "I'm just here for the food" by Alton Brown for Christmas.
Sorry, felt like bragging.
