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.

ALTON BROWN'S WHITE TRASH

Alton once posted this on his website and said that he always cranks out a bushel or two of it during the holidays. He also said "Dole this stuff out carefully. It is highly habit forming." I totally agree and for this reason have no earthly idea how many servings it makes! Depends on how much you can eat! LOL Especially good to anyone who likes the salty-sweet combination. Cooking time is cooling time.

WHITE TRASH CANDY

A coworker brought these in one day, calling them a "sweet version of 'Nuts and Bolts'". I've never had "Nuts & Bolts", but they were really yummy. She gave us the recipe, so I'm putting it here so I don't lose it. Servings are an estimation.
