AB's Christmas Crack
For decades, my family used to make this horrifyingly addictive candy-like stuff during the holidays that we always called "white trash." This year, I was yearning for an upgrade, so we added espresso powder and crushed cocoa nibs.You're welcome/I'm sorry.Photo by Lynne Calamia

📝 Preparation Steps
1
Combine the Cheerios, Rice Chex, Corn Chex, M&M's, nuts, pretzels, and cacao nibs in your biggest mixing bowl.
small pretzels2 cups
2
Roll out a couple large sheets of wax or parchment paper on a work surface away from direct sunlight or heat.
3
Combine the white chocolate and espresso powder in a medium-size, microwave-safe bowl and nuke on high power in 30-second increments, stirring with a silicone spatula between each blast. After about 5 nukes (yes, that's a technical term), the chocolate would start to melt and smooth out. If there are still a few solid chips here and there after 5 blasts, don't worry about it as it's better to under-melt a bit than to burn even a little of the mass.
4
Pour the melted chocolate over the cereal mixture and mix very well with a large silicone spatula, or better yet, your hands wearing disposable gloves.
5
Divide the mixture in half and spread evenly on the wax or parchment paper. Leave it for at least ⏱️ 30 minutes to set before breaking up and stashing in airtight containment.
