TEXAS TUMBLEWEED CANDY
This is one of many "NO BAKE" recipes that I keep in my recipe stash. Who doesn't love a recipe that is short, quick and resulting in something scrumptious? Really you can't go wrong by stirring something into melted chocolate or in this case a mixture of white chocolate and butterscotch.You can find me elsewhere too....

TEXAS TUMBLEWEEDS
This sweet and easy dessert treat is courtesy of my dear SiL...they are easy to make, and taste delicious. Good recipe for the kids to help with, and great for parties and gift giving if you put them in mini cupcake papers. The candy coating/almond bark is usually sold in packages of flat rectangles, not chips, but either could be used - 1 package is all that's required for the recipe. Unfortunately, I don't know the exact size in ounces, so this is an estimate.
