The recipe for these delicious chocolate butterscotch candies dates back to the 1940s. You can drop these by the spoonful or press into a pan and cut them into bars.

Ingredients:

  • 1 (6-ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate morsels

Melt chocolate, butterscotch morsels, and peanut butter together in top section of a double boiler over hot but not boiling water, or in heavy saucepan over very low heat, stirring constantly until well blended. Remove from heat. Add Rice Krispies; stir until well coated.
