Ingredients

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 5 cups rice chex cereal
  • 1 cup mini pretzels
  • 1 cup Reese's Pieces
  • (1) 11-ounce bag Candy Corn or Autumn Mix
  • 7 ounces chocolate covered pretzels
  • 1 cup salted peanuts (optional)
  • caramel corn (optional)

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Start by melting butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Butterscotch chips can burn easily so I will share my tips to ensure smooth, melted butterscotch. Melt the butterscotch at 50% power and cook for 30-second increments. Stir after each cooking time. It will most likely take about 90 seconds total to melt the butterscotch chips.
  2. Place the Rice Chex Mix in a medium-sized bowl and carefully toss the melted butterscotch with the Chex cereal. Spread onto a parchment paper or foil-lined baking sheet and let it set up.
  3. In another large bowl, toss the salty pretzels, candy corn, chocolate-covered pretzels, Reese's Pieces, and peanuts (optional). If you want different flavored pretzels, you can dip the salty pretzels into melted white chocolate, milk chocolate, or butterscotch.
  4. Once the butterscotch Rice Chex has firmed up, lightly toss it with the other ingredients. Store in an air-tight container.
