I’m not gonna lie – I’m pretty picky when it comes to nuts. I love pistachios and almonds – those are my favorites! Of course I love peanuts, as well. But I’ll eat pretty much any nut when it’s covered in a delicious candy! I created this recipe to use up some mixed nuts I found on clearance… and I have to admit, I’m pleasantly surprised. I hope you love this super quick, simple, and easy recipe, too!
WHAT YOU NEED:
- 2 cups (1 bag) butterscotch chips
- 2 cups (1 bag) semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup peanut butter
- 2 cups salted mixed nuts
- Coarse Kosher salt (optional)
MAKE THEM:
In a medium sized bowl, microwave the butterscotch, chocolate, and peanut butter in 30 second increments until smooth and totally melted.
Let cool 5 minutes.
Fold in mixed nuts until well combined.
Place parchment paper on cookie sheets. Scoop a few tablespoons into little piles along the cookie sheet.
Sprinkle with sea salt.
Refrigerate 2 hours before serving.
Keep in fridge until ready to eat – these get melty quickly in hot or humid temps!
ENJOY this super simple, absolutely delicious treat!

Jeni’s Disclaimer: I’m just a regular girl. I love to drink wine while I bake. I’m by no means a professional baker or pro photographer. My creations aren’t staged, they just are what they are, and that’s probably obvious from the pictures. I create my recipes from inspiration of scents and flavors around me. I also repurpose my grandma’s old recipes. If you love to bake and your food ends up looking like REAL food, and not like something you’ll see on Instagram, you’re in the right place.
