Edible White Trash

Want a simple holiday recipe?  Every year my mom would make this for our neighbors (by popular demand/request) for Christmas, and it's become a Stuetz Family tradition.  Since this is my first year with actual neighbors I thought I would spread the white trash love.  (My dad claims it's named after our family, but I'll let you be the judge).
Simply mix together:
2 c. Wheat Chex
2 c. Rice Chex
2 c. Corn Chex
2 c. Cheerios
2 c. Pretzel Sticks
2 c. Peanuts (unsalted)
2 c. M & M's
Melt 2 lbs. of Mercel's White Chocolate and coat the mix.  You can microwave the chocolate, but I like to use my double boiler.  I just have to say that any time I use one of my "luxury" kitchen items I have to mention it, because when I first wanted to get a double boiler (and just about any other non-essential appliance or gadget) Joel said, "What's that?  Are you actually ever going to use that?"  Well, I just did.  Wahoo- I'm justified!  But I digress.......
Lay the mixture out on wax paper-covered cookie sheets.  
When the chocolate has hardened again you can break it apart and serve.  I got some nifty, little boxes to use, but my mom always put it in tins.
 It's not exactly holiday baking, but it gets the job done.  Now if only the snow storm would stop, so that I'd actually want to take them to my neighbors.......
