Alton Browns White Trash Recipes

Steps:

• Dump the cereals, M&Ms, nuts & pretzels in a large bowl.
• Melt the white chocolate in the microwave or in a double boiler. Melt very slowly, stirring occasionally, being careful not to burn the chocolate.
• Dump melted chocolate over the rest of the ingredients and fold over and over until you have well-coated hunks and chunks.
• Spread the whole mess out on parchment paper and set in a cool place until it sets up, then break it into pieces.
• Store in zip-top bags or air-tight containers.

Steps:

• *NOTE: I broke up the dried anchos into pieces and used a clean coffee mill to coarsely grind the chilies.
• To roast the jalapeno you have several options: oven roast, or stovetop roast either in a pan or steamer basket.
• For steamer basket directions, place the chili in the opened basket and place directly on the heating element.
• Turn the heat on to medium flame and dry roast for about 5 minutes or until chili is charred all over, turning occasionally to roast evenly.
• Set the steamer basket aside on a heatproof surface. Cover with a heat resistant bowl or lid and allow to sweat for 10-15 minutes.
• Once cool enough to handle, place the chili under running water and loosen off the skin. Remove the seeds and membrane.
• Mince the chili.
• In a bowl, combine all ingredients. Note: Alton say that the dried ancho chili is not to be dehydrated. Marinating will soften the chili and hydrate it.
• Cover and place salsa in refrigerator for up to 12 hours for flavors to infuse.
• Serve with your favorite chips.
• Prep time does not include marinating.
