Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 3

16 ounces roasted salted peanuts
20 ounces butterscotch chips
10 ounces white chocolate chips

Steps:

  • Place the peanuts in an even layer in the slow cooker. Top them with the butterscotch chips and white chocolate chips.
  • Cover and cook on low for 30 minutes. Stir the mixture and, if the chips are not completed melted, continue cooking it for up to 30 minutes longer. Check on it every ten minutes, and once the butterscotch and white chocolate are melted and smooth, it's ready.
  • Scoop a generous tablespoon of the mixture and drop it on a baking sheet lined with wax paper. Repeat with the rest of the mixture. Or, you can fill mini cupcake liners instead.
  • Chill the clusters until they are set, about 30 minutes. Store them in an airtight container at room temperature.

BUTTERSCOTCH CLUSTERS

This is my Grandmother's recipe. She always made big batches of these to bring to the Poconos when we were vacationing. I have seen other recipes for this but they always have other additions such as nuts, raisins and pretzels etc., she never made them any other way than this; plain and simple. Cooking time includes chill time.
