Butterscotch Snack Mix

I must admit the butterscotch snack mix was inspired by my friend, Megan, over at Gal in the Middle. She makes the most addicting White Chocolate Snack Mix AKA White Trash. I was SURE I had the ingredients when at 10 pm one night I remembered I needed a snack for the next day. Well, I didn’t, so I improvised and created this Butterscotch snack mix.

Butterscotch Snack Mix

I didn’t have pretzels but did have chow mein noodles. Which made me think of haystacks. For anyone who took Microwaving in 4-H back in Illinois, you know what I am talking about. So, I thought I could make the butterscotch flavors work for this snack mix.

I started by melting a bag of white chocolate chips with butterscotch chips together.

But when I did the finger dip taste test something was missing. So, I grabbed the peanut butter and added a big scoop of the mix.

 

While this was melting all together, I mixed together 3 cups of corn Chex, 3 cups of Rice Chex, 3 cups of Cheerios along with 2 cups of peanuts and 2 cups of chow mein noodles.

Then pour the melted chocolate/butterscotch over the cereal mixture and stir to cover completely.

Then pour the M&Ms into the mix. This way the candy-coated shell will not melt off.

Pour the mixture out over a parchment lined counter to cool and harden up.

The results are the perfect mixture of sweet with salty.
