Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 ounces butterscotch chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 4 cups crispy rice cereal
- 0.5 cup salted peanuts (optional)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set them aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 2–3 cycles.
Stir in the vanilla extract until well incorporated.
Gently fold the crispy rice cereal into the butterscotch mixture, ensuring the cereal is fully coated. If you're using salted peanuts, stir them in at this stage as well.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
Let the drops cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes or chill them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to firm up.
Once set, store the butterscotch drops in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days or in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
