Super Bowl Week: Crispix Chocolate-Butterscotch Drops

by Bob Sassone, Posted Jan 31st 2008 @ 6:10PM

Crispix I'm a big fan of desserts and snacks and party mixes and trail mix and other concoctions that you don't have to put in the oven to make. Maybe that's an idea for a post, a big list of desserts you can make without baking.

This one features Crispix cereal, which I happen to be looking at right now just over the top of my computer monitor. It's a very easy recipe to make (it's just semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, roasted peanuts, and Crispix cereal), but then again all desserts/snacks like this should be easy to make.

Crispix Chocolate-Butterscotch Drops

1/2 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
2 cups Crispix cereal

Pour chips in heavy 2-quart saucepan, place over low heat, and stir constantly until chips are melted. Remove from heat. Stir in peanuts and Crispix cereal.

Drop by tablespoons onto waxed paper. Refrigerate until firm. Store in airtight container in the refrigerator. Makes 2 dozen.
