Butterscotch Candy

This Butterscotch candy is made right after Thanksgiving every year since from when I can remember. The recipe has been passed down from my mother’s side and she brings it in full force after Thanksgiving. 
This is an easy recipe that any kid or adult can make! What a way to start the month of December with some easy peasy Butterscotch candy.

We are bringing you into our kitchen and sharing some of our December staples. We hope you enjoy them!

This is a DELISH candy to ship, make for your neighbors and friends, or bring into work!

Hera’s Pinch

Not a fan of butterscotch? You can make the same candy with chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, peppermint chips, and white chocolate chips. Any kind of morsels that melt and you can coat the chow mein noodles with. Chocolate Mint is another favorite!
