Butterscotch Snack Mix is the candy coated chex mix Chex and Cheerio cereal, peanuts, and candy covered in butterscotch and peanut butter. 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 Peanut Butter Chex Mix Ingredients
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.
How to Make Butterscotch Snack Mix
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 of this butterscotch chex mix are the perfect mixture of sweet with salty.
