Although this snack has a derogatory name, its taste is always favorable.

What You'll Need

How to Make It

Cover a large surface with waxed or parchment paper. In a large mixing bowl, mix together cereals, nuts and pretzels. In a microwavable bowl, melt white chocolate chips in microwave on 70 percent power for 1 minute. Stir. If necessary, continue to microwave in 10 to 15 second increments until melted. Stir melted chocolate into cereal mixture until well coated. Quickly spread out over covered surface.

Once cooled, break-up and store in resealable containers or bags.

*My suggestion for cereals that can be used with this recipe include Cheerios, and/or all Chex flavors.
