Hopscoth

This is a treat that we we have made every Christmas for as long as I can remember. It is peanut buttery, marshmallowy, crunchy deliciousness. There are many variations of this, I have included two of my favorites in this recipe, the original and the version that our family came up with which is a chocolate-butterscotch version.

Original Hopscotch

INGREDIENTS 

1/2 cup Peanut Butter
6 oz.   Butterscotch Pieces
2 oz.   Dry Chow Mein Noodles 
1/2 bag Mini Marshmallows

DIRECTIONS

In a double boiler, melt together peanut butter and butterscotch pieces until the butterscotch pieces are melted and combined with the peanut butter. Add marshmallows and chow mein noodles, stir until well combined. Drop by the spoon full on to wax paper or silpat. Cool in the fridge for about 30 minutes or until fully set.
