This recipe is from a lady that works with my husband. She said it is “YUMMY”!
3 cups Rice Chex
3 cups Corn Chex
3 cups Cheerios
2 cups small pretzels
2 cups salted peanuts
1 (12-ounce) bag plain M&Ms
1 (12-ounce) bag peanut or almond M&Ms
2 (12-ounce) bags of white chocolate chips
Combine all of the ingredients except the white chocolate chips in a big bowl.
Melt the white chocolate chips in a saucepan according to the package instructions. These chips burn quickly, so be careful to not overcook them.
Pour the melted white chocolate over the mixture and, with a strong long-handled wooden spoon, toss well to coat.
Spread the Holiday Hash out on waxed paper and let set until the chocolate hardens.
Break into palm-sized pieces and store them in an airtight container or pour into gift bags.
(Hint: If you buy the red and green M&Ms you’ll have a very festive result.
