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.

Provided by Melissa Snow

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:

  • Prepare the ingredients: Before starting, ensure you have all the ingredients measured and ready. This will help the cooking process go more smoothly.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed saucepan: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent scorching.
  • Stir constantly: When making the butterscotch mixture, stir continuously to prevent it from burning.
  • Use a candy thermometer: This will help you accurately measure the temperature of the butterscotch mixture and ensure it reaches the correct stage.
  • Work quickly: Once the butterscotch mixture is ready, work quickly to form the clusters before it cools and hardens.
  • Be careful not to overcook the butterscotch: Overcooking can cause the butterscotch to become too hard and brittle.
  • Let the clusters cool completely: Before storing or enjoying, allow the butterscotch clusters to cool completely.

Conclusion:

These delightful butterscotch clusters are a perfect treat for any occasion. With their rich, buttery flavor and crunchy texture, they are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them. Whether you are a seasoned baker or just starting out, this recipe is easy to follow and will yield delicious results.
