Butterscotch Bon-Bons







It was such a fun time making these, and now I'm FINALLY getting around to posting the recipe!

2 cups peanut butter
1/2 cup butter
4 1/2 cups (16 oz.) powdered sugar
3 cups crisp rice cereal
2-3 packages butterscotch chips

In saucepan, melt peanut butter & butter.
In large bowl, combine powdered sugar & cereal; pour peanut butter mixture over cereal mixtures.
Blend together with hands. Form into 1/2 balls (don't get them too big or they are hard to coat in the butterscotch).
Chill until firm.
Melt one bag of butterscotch pieces in double boiler. Dip the candies in coating, swirling tops with back of teaspoon.
Place on waxed paper lined baking sheet.
Repeat using second, and if needed, third bag of butterscotch chips.

PS - you are only allowed to make these candies once a year! They are so addicting!
