Christmas Trash
"The best Christmas snack you'll ever try---everyone starts asking for it weeks before Thanksgiving. A friend gave me the recipe, and she had found it in a magazine, "Southern Living Lady", I think."

i misread the ingredients and only used one bag of white chocolate chips. i am glad i did because this is SWEET. it doesn't look quite as pretty & white with just the one bag of chips, but that's ok with me. it is really delicious. -
I gave this recipe 5 stars. I had this at a Christmas party and it was so yummy! The only difference was the lady who made also included Cherrios. She has made two batches. One was made with chocolate and the other with vanilla chips. I'd like to make a batch using sugar free chocolate chips. Thanks for posting a yummy recipe! Christine (internetnut)

TDF! This is an absolute must for any Christmas menu! My MIL made this as I was too busy, and it was the first thing to disappear, even though it made a huge batch. I can't wait for next Christmas, just so I can eat this stuff!! -
YUM! My husband would not stop eating this stuff. Thanks for sharing. -
Be aware...this is SO ADDICTING!! It is extremely easy to make and the kids can even help too!

This was very easy and very fast, as well as very delicious! I used white almond bark in place of the chips and substituted mini marshmellows in place of the nuts as my daughter cannot have them. Loved my all in my house!

This is one of my favorite holiday treats. I also add craisins and use almond bark instead of the white chocolate chips. If the mixture isn't too wet or if you wait until it cools a little bit, this looks really pretty shaped into a Christmas tree (cone) shape and then you just break off pieces to eat. Thanks for posting!

I was born and raised in South Georgia, went to college and married in Texas and stayed here for most of the 37 years since. I love to cook but it is all "family-style" and "home cooking." I don't pretend to be a gourmet. I often cook for very large crowds at my church, and am always looking for good, easy recipes that I can enlarge easily.
What else? I am also passionate about reading and quilting.
