Description

White Trash is a delightful no-bake dessert mix perfect for Halloween or any festive occasion. It combines the salty crunch of mini pretzels and salted peanuts with the sweet flavors of candy corn and smooth white chocolate, creating a perfectly balanced treat that’s easy to prepare.

Ingredients

Mix-ins

  • 6 cups mini pretzel twists
  • 2 ½ cups candy corn
  • 2 cups salted cocktail peanuts

Chocolate Coating

  • 12 ounces Wilton bright white candy melts or white chocolate chips
  • 1 teaspoon vegetable shortening (like Crisco)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Mix-ins: Line a large cookie sheet with parchment paper and set aside. In a large mixing bowl, combine the mini pretzels, candy corn, and salted cocktail peanuts. Stir gently to mix all ingredients evenly.
  2. Melt the Chocolate: In a medium microwave-safe bowl, add 1 teaspoon of vegetable shortening and microwave for 30 seconds to soften. Add the white candy melts to the bowl. Microwave on HIGH in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until the white chocolate is fully melted and smooth.
  3. Combine the Mix-ins and Chocolate: Drizzle the melted white chocolate over the pretzel, candy corn, and peanut mixture. Stir gently but thoroughly to coat the mix-ins evenly with the white chocolate.
  4. Set the Mixture: Transfer the coated mixture onto the prepared cookie sheet and spread it out evenly using a spatula, creating a thin layer.
  5. Chill to Harden: Place the cookie sheet in the refrigerator and chill for about 45 minutes, or until the white chocolate hardens completely.
  6. Serve: Once hardened, break the mixture into bite-sized pieces and serve immediately or store in an airtight container for later enjoyment.

Notes

  • Make sure to stir the white chocolate frequently while microwaving to prevent it from burning.
  • Use parchment paper to prevent sticking and ensure easier cleanup.
  • For a festive touch, consider adding Halloween-themed sprinkles before the chocolate hardens.
  • Store leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
