ADDICTIVE WHITE CHOCOLATE PARTY MIX

WARNING: This party mix is highly addictive.  Once you try one bite, you will not be able to stop. 

This mixture is always a favorite of friends and family! The light white chocolate coating provides the perfect sweet and salty combination. My mom found it in the newspaper years ago, and it's been a staple at all holiday gatherings. It's so easy to grab one little chunk and then end up eating the entire batch. I could eat this stuff until I make myself sick (which I've done quite a few times).

Two of the best parts of this snack are that it's 1) SUPER EASY (everyone knows how to use a microwave and stir) and 2) very colorful! You can use special holiday color M&Ms to make the mix super festive!

The whole recipe makes about 5 quarts. As far as serving size goes... well that's really hard to say. As I previously mentioned, it's hard to stop at just one handful, so who really knows how many servings it makes!

Melted white chocolate and oil

Mixing up the mixture!

Spread the mixture onto wax paper until it has cooled.

Break the mix into smaller chunks.

Normally, my family just serves the mixture in a big bowl so everyone can grab from it.

But in this case, I was bringing the mixture to Fox59 for a co-worker's birthday, 

so I thought it would be fun to divvy it up into cupcake liners!
