My mother made a version of this for years. Last year she wasn’t able and everyone really missed it. This year, I bought the ingredients and we are going to make it together. What fun it will be.

You can substitute your favorite cereal blends…you’re not restricted to those I use. I just like the crunch/salt/sweet combo of these. What do you plan to use? - Deb

Welcome to my kitchen, Twinky!!! I couldn’t agree more with your comment. I love giving gifts from my kitchen and people look forward to them every year. Other ones, besides White Trash, that I’m doing this year are my Cheesy Garlic Spread with a beautiful sour dough loaf from my local artisan bakery, my Crazy Good Caramel Dip with an apple corer/slicer and some apples, and bags of my Amazing Caramel Corn. I really feel like I’m giving something personal and from my heart when I give gifts from my kitchen . I’m delighted that you’ve decided to become part of the Deb’s Kitchen family and I wish you a very Merry Christmas. God bless you! - Deb

I'm definely going to try this recipe for my family during the Holidays!! Thank you so much ❤😊

[@DebsKitchen]

Welcome to my kitchen, Monica! I’m so glad that you are going to give this a try this year. I promise you your family will LOVE it!! In fact, I expect this will be the first of many holiday seasons that you’ll be asked to make this. You’re also going to love the ease of making this…definitely a HUGE bang for your effort buck. 😉 Enjoy!!! - Deb

[@lizethjimenez5398]

Looks delicious

[@DebsKitchen]

Welcome, Lizeth! I have to warn you…it’s MORE than delicious…it’s DANGEROUSLY good! 😉 I love this particular combination, but you can certainly get creative with it and use your own favorite cereals and nuts. You’ll just want to be sure that you keep some salt in there (nuts and pretzels) to balance out the sweet. The sprinkles are optional, but I think it makes this treat more festive and can be traded out with other colors for different occasions. Enjoy!!!! - Deb

Hi Jeannie and welcome to my kitchen! There’s only one bad thing to say about this…once you start eating this it’s really hard to stop! Serve it at your next holiday party or give it out as gifts and you’ll have everyone looking for more and looking forward to next year. Are you planning to make it for yourself or ????? - Deb

I like to add M&Ms on top of the rest of those ingredients

[@DebsKitchen]

Oooooooh, Sharon. That would be ultra decadent!!! I’ll have to give that a try. Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones!! - Deb

[@gr8gardn]

My lazy version for these mixes is to use pretzel goldfish instead of thin sticks. Easy to mix, package and store.

[@DebsKitchen]

Oooooooh…I LIKE that idea!! I’m going to have to give that a try! Thank you for sharing!!! - Deb

[@gr8gardn]

Don’t just dump the whole bag of pretzel gold fish into your mix at once. There will be a ton of loose salt in the bottom of the pretzel bag. Just cut a hole in a bottom corner of the pretzel bag and shake out the excess salt. Then dump them into your mix. Easy!

[@DebsKitchen]

@gr8gardn Thank you again for the goldfish suggestion and this excellent tip! It seems dumping all that extra salt in without realizing could ruin the batch, but your solution is genius! Thanks again! - Deb

[@donnasennett1668]

I put peanuts and m&ms in mine

[@DebsKitchen]

Hi Donna! I think that’s one of the things that’s so great about this recipe…you can follow it exactly or change it up by adding or subtracting your favorites to personalize your batch to make it unique to you and the people you share it with. Your version sounds yummy!!! I hope you’ll mix up a batch and maybe even try a new version this year. In any case, enjoy!!! - Deb

What’s the difference between the almond bark and plain white chocolate?

[@DebsKitchen]

Hi and welcome to my kitchen! You asked a great question that I didn’t initially have a full answer for, so I looked it up and here’s an article that will tell you the difference between them as well as make suggestions for which is the right choice for any recipe you might want to try with white chocolate. juliescafebakery.com/almond-bark-vs-white-chocolate/ Enjoy!!! - Deb

[@christinaheard7626]

I dont like white chocolate, is the almond bark you used different tasting than white chocolate because i wanna try

[@DebsKitchen]

Hi Christina. To be perfectly honest, I’m not a white chocolate fan either. That said, I have a tough time stopping if I start eating this amazing treat. There is a magic that happens between the sweet of the chocolate and the saltiness of the pretzels and cashews that overrides that typical over sweet white chocolate flavor. I’d like to encourage to give it a try. The great thing is that it is so easy to make and people love it so much that, even if it turns out that it doesn’t “work” for you, your neighbors will love you forever. 😉 In fact, this is a FANTASTIC gift from your kitchen. If you do decide to give it a try, I hope you’ll let me know what you think. I’d love to hear back from you! - Deb

[@user-zh8if5bk8t]

I would add Cheese nix

[@DebsKitchen]

Welcome to my Kitchen! I don’t think I’d consider adding Cheese Nips, but that is one of the great things about this recipe. It’s entirely adaptable so that you can add/subtract whatever your favorites are and make it unique to your tastes. Play with it and have fun. Enjoy!!! - Deb

[@carolynlaird8534]

How long will this stay good for.

[@DebsKitchen]

Hi Carolyn. It’s great to meet you! As long as you keep it in an airtight container and in a cool place, it will be good for at least 2 weeks…if it lasts that long! 😉 Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones. Enjoy!!! - Deb
