WHITE CHOCOLATE PARTY MIX

16 cups Popped popcorn - no salt nor oil

3 cups cherries - candied not canned

2 cups peanuts or a jar of salted peanuts (you may use or add other kinds of nuts)

1 package M&Ms

1 package Reeses pieces

1 package mini pretzels

1 package toffee bits

2 packages vanilla chips or white chocolate chunks

2 tablespoons vegetable oil

In a large bowl, combine the first seven ingredients.  In a heavy saucepan, melt vanilla

chips and oil; stir until smooth.  Pour over popcorn mixture and toss or stir to coat. Spread onto two baking sheets lined with waxed paper; let stand until dry.

Note:

To get the vanilla chips and oil to the consistency that they pour, use extra oil.  You may also mix in the melted vanilla chips or white chocolate chunks in batches so that they don’t thicken and dry too fast.
