christmas white trash recipe with almond bark guide (tips for beginners and experts)

Okay, so I tried making that “Christmas White Trash” thing with almond bark. It’s basically a snack mix, right? You know, the kind you see everywhere during the holidays. I saw it online and thought, “Why not?” It looked pretty simple, and I’m always up for trying new recipes, especially when they’re easy and festive.

I started by gathering all the stuff I needed. The recipe called for crispy rice cereal, pretzels, peanuts, M&Ms, and almond bark. I already had some of these at home, so I just needed to grab a few things from the store. It was surprisingly easy to find everything, even though the holiday rush was in full swing.

  • First, I dumped the cereal, pretzels, and peanuts into a big bowl. It was a pretty big bowl because I wanted to make a lot. I mean, who makes a small batch of snacks during Christmas, right?
  • Next, I melted the almond bark. I used the microwave because it’s faster. Just put it in a microwave-safe bowl and nuked it for like a minute, then stirred, and zapped it some more until it was all smooth. You gotta be careful not to burn it, though.
  • Then, I poured the melted almond bark over the cereal mix and stirred everything together. It was kind of messy, but fun. I made sure everything was nicely coated.
  • After that, I dumped in the M&Ms and gave it another good stir. I mean, you can’t have Christmas snacks without those red and green candies, can you?
  • Finally, I spread the whole mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. I pressed it down a bit to make it even and then stuck it in the fridge to cool down and harden.

The waiting was the hardest part, haha! It probably took about an hour to fully set. Once it did, I broke it into pieces, and it looked pretty good, if I do say so myself. It tasted even better, all sweet and salty and crunchy. It’s a perfect treat to have around during the holidays.
