Cereal and Candy Mix
- 1 cup Honey Nut Cheerios
- ½ cup Cocoa Puffs
- 1 cup Froot Loops
- 1 cup M&M’s
- 1 cup broken pretzel sticks
Chocolate Coating
- 10 oz Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers (or vanilla bark)
- Combine Dry Ingredients: In a very large mixing bowl, combine the Honey Nut Cheerios, Cocoa Puffs, Froot Loops, M&M’s, and broken pretzel sticks. Mix gently to evenly distribute all ingredients.
- Melt White Chocolate: Melt the white chocolate wafers following the package directions. Using Ghirardelli White Chocolate Melting Wafers is recommended for their smooth texture and rich flavor.
- Mix Chocolate and Cereal: Pour the melted white chocolate over the cereal and candy mixture. Gently stir until all pieces are evenly coated with the chocolate, ensuring every bit is covered without breaking the cereal.
- Set the Candy: Spread the mixture onto parchment paper on the countertop in an even layer. Allow it to harden at room temperature for about 15 minutes until the chocolate sets and firms up.
- Store: Once hardened, break into pieces if desired, and store the White Trash Candy in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain freshness and crunch.
Notes
- You can substitute or add other cereals or candies to customize the flavor and texture to your liking.
- If white chocolate wafers are unavailable, white chocolate chips can be used but may require careful melting to avoid scorching.
- Ensure the pretzel sticks are broken into bite-sized pieces for easier eating.
- This candy should be stored in a cool, dry place to prevent melting or sogginess.
- Perfect treat for parties, gift-giving, or quick snack cravings.
