Tips

Make this recipe more festive by using holiday themed candy and colorful sprinkles. Some fun additions are mini eggs, broken chocolate bars, and chocolate xmas balls.
Melt the chocolate slowly and carefully to avoid scorching the white chocolate which can happen easily.
You can also melt the white chocolate in the microwave on high. Heat for 30 seconds at a time, stirring in between until smooth and melted.
Line the baking sheet with wax paper or parchment to prevent sticking. Avoid using cooking foil since it’s not non-stick.
Let the trail mix cool and set fully before breaking apart and placing in a jar for storage.
This recipe also makes a great topping for ice cream sundaes!
White trash can be easily doubled, even tripled! Make this in large batches, it stores well!
