Categories     Candies

Number Of Ingredients 4

1/3 c peanut butter
12 oz pkg butterscotch chips
6 1/2 oz can of cocktail peanuts
3 c cornflakes

Steps:

  • 1. Melt chips and peanut butter in a saucepan. Remove from heat. Add cornflakes and peanuts. Drop on wax paper and refrigerate.
  • 2. Note: You can substitute the nuts and cornflakes with 3 ounces of chow mein noodles and 1 cup marshmallows. This is the way I prepare it.

Tips:

  • Line your baking sheet with parchment paper: This will prevent the clusters from sticking and make cleanup a breeze.
  • Use a candy thermometer to measure the temperature of the sugar mixture: This will ensure that the clusters reach the correct consistency.
  • Be careful not to overcook the sugar mixture: If you do, the clusters will be hard and brittle.
  • Stir the sugar mixture constantly: This will prevent it from burning.
  • Add the butter and vanilla extract once the sugar mixture has reached the correct temperature: This will give the clusters a rich and flavorful taste.
  • Pour the sugar mixture over the peanuts and mix well: Make sure the peanuts are evenly coated.
  • Drop the clusters onto the prepared baking sheet: Leave enough space between each cluster so that they don't stick together.
  • Let the clusters cool completely before enjoying: This will allow them to harden and set.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch clusters are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or simply as a snack. With just a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create these delicious treats that are sure to be a hit.
