Alton Browns White Trash Recipes

ALTON BROWN'S WHITE TRASH

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.

WHITE TRASH CHOCOLATE PIE

Steps:

• Beat egg yolks with half of the sugar and the melted butter.(melt butter in the micro for about 20 seconds -- you don't want it to be too hot or it will cook the egg yolks when you add it).
• Mix the other half of sugar with the cocoa and flour and add the 1/4 cup of scorching hot water. Mix with a whisk until smooth.
• Combine the two mixtures and mix thoroughly.
• Add vanilla and milk and mix thoroughly.
• Don't get upset if mixture seems thin. It will set after baking.
• Pour into an unbaked pie shell and cover the edges with foil or a pie ring to prevent the crust edges from browning excessively. Bake for 55-60 minutes at 325. It will still be a little "jiggly" bit it will set up nicely as it cools.
• Let cool at room temperature for a couple of hours and then put it in the fridge for a couple of hours to cool good and proper.
• Then -- serve well chilled with homemade whipped cream or just be white trash like me and use Cool Whip.
