As you all know, we are nearing the Fourth of July holiday.  In preparation for my family’s annual reunion, I have tried to think of cute patriotic desserts that I can make to give out to everyone.  I have also been meaning to post the classic “White Trash Party Mix” recipe that I have referred to several times in past posts, but have never given you all the recipe for it.  Killing two birds with one stone,  I decided it would be a fun idea to make Red, White, and Blue Trash Party Mix simply by using only red and blue M&M’s in the regular white trash recipe.

Let me tell you a few things about this White Trash, since the name may sound suspicious to you.   I make this party mix quite often to bring to parties and it always a huge hit.  My other older sister, C, is the queen of this recipe and as an elementary school teacher is always bringing it in for her students and co-workers.  For some reason, I always lose the recipe and have to ask C for the recipe again every time I make it.   I am finally writing the recipe down on my blog so that I don’t lose it and C won’t have to keep sending it over and over.    Also, just a tip, M&M’s don’t actually come in Fourth of July packages, but you can buy the colors separately at party store, like Party City, or do what I did and sort out all the red and blue from the regular packages.   I bagged all the remaining colors of m&m’s in snack bags in 4 Weight Watchers Points Plus servings.   Now I have pre-packaged desserts for weeks!
