Cooking with K: Valentine's Day Trash

February 14, 2010

Valentine's Day Trash

I am going to go ahead and post my Valentine's Day Trash I made for Valentines. I am so behind on my blog post that I am determined to catch up. This trash is an all time family favorite. I make it for Christmas, Valentine's, Easter, and whenever there is something to celebrate. The basic recipe for the trash is the same each time. I just change the color of the M&Ms for what we are celebrating. For Valentine's I use the cute pink, red, and white M&Ms. This makes a great treat to give as gifts in little holiday bags also.

Valentine Trash

24 oz. vanilla flavored candy coating (almond bark)
6 cups Kellogg's Crispix cereal
3 cups round shaped pretzels
16 oz. M&M'S Peanut Chocolate Candies in Valentine Colors or plain M&M's

In a medium microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate in the microwave for 2-4 minutes at 30 SECOND intervals until chocolate is melted; set aside. In a large bowl, add cereal, pretzels, and M&Ms. Pour melted chocolate over the cereal mixture. Using a large spatula to fold all together making sure not to break up the cereal to much. Once all the mixture is coated real well with the chocolate, pour out onto a table lined with waxed paper. Once cooled, break up into piece and store in an air tight container.

What a cute post! This "trash" looks pretty good to me, but then my philosophy is that everything is better with the addition of M&Ms.

Mmmmm.... I have a similar recipe with pretzles and peanuts. LOVE the idea of the M&Ms to make it a theme. I will make this for my co-workers and put into little gifts bags for Valentines. Thanks!

I'd say that one man's trash is definitely my idea of treasure. You're #1 with this treat for last week's Sweets for a Saturday.
