WHITE CHOCOLATE TRASH

Steps:

• Combine cereal, pretzels, peanuts and M&M's in a very large bowl (I usually divide everything evenly between two bowls so I don't make a mess stirring). Line two baking sheets with wax or parchment paper; set aside. Combine white chocolate chips and vegetable oil in a microwave-safe bowl then heat and stir at 30-second intervals until chocolate is melted. Pour melted chocolate over dry ingredients then gently fold until well combined. Spoon mixture onto baking sheets, spread to cover pans then add sprinkles on top. Cool in the refrigerator until set. Break cooled mixture into chunks then store in an air-tight container at room temperature. Notes:I've tried this several ways and I really, truly believe to make THE BEST batch you should use these exact ingredients: Corn Chex (not Rice or Wheat Chex or Crispix), dry roasted fully salted peanuts (not party or cocktail peanuts or low or no salt), white chocolate chips (not white almond bark). At some point they stopped calling them "white chocolate chips" and now, I see, they're all called "premium white morsels" or "white baking chips". Just look for the white morsels next to the chocolate chips!
