Directions

  1. 1

    Line a large baking sheet with waxed paper.

  2. 2

    Melt chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and vegetable oil together in a large microwave-safe container. I used a Pyrex glass measuring cup.

    Heat on high for 30 seconds, stir, repeat, until chips are melted and smooth.

  4. 4

    Quickly stir in the peanuts and marshmallows.

  5. 5

    Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the waxed paper. You can make them as large or as small as you like.

  6. 6

    Let set up in the refrigerator for 15 minutes before packing. Store leftovers (ha!) in an airtight container.
