3 Element Butterscotch Icebox Cookies

This is belike 1 of the most mutual cookies around, but inwards my 4 decades of life in addition to eating at countless church building potluck meals, I've never had 1 until final month!  My friend made these super easy, super yummy cookies on our ski trip, in addition to today, inwards award of our final twenty-four hr menses earlier Spring Break starts, I'm sharing them alongside you!  Just inwards instance you lot demand something to continue fiddling hands busy, they volition dear helping brand these!

Here's what you lot need:

1 pocketbook butterscotch chips

peanut butter (about a cup)

corn flakes (about seven cups)

I know, the measurements aren't really exact.  When I asked my friend almost it she was like,  "Oh, a twosome of big spoonfuls of peanut butter in addition to stir inwards the cornflakes until it looks right...".  So, you lot can't genuinely mess these upward in addition to I'm guessing on the measurements.  You tin adapt to your sense of savour if needed.

First, pour the entire pocketbook of chips into a microwave rubber bowl.  Add a few big dallops of peanut butter.  I couldn't come upward up alongside a meliorate give-and-take than "dallops"-but you lot know what I mean, right?  If you lot convey a "melt chocolate" feature, move it.  If not, simply warm the chips upward good, but they should all the same survive keeping their shape.  The peanut butter volition survive runny.  Then, stir for a infinitesimal or ii until they are melted.

Now, pour inwards the cornflakes in addition to mix well.  Line a cookie canvas alongside a slice of waxed or parchment newspaper (I give it a quick spray of Pam simply for fun) in addition to dip your cookies out.  You tin move a spoon, a big scoop, or the 1/4 measuring loving cup plant corking for us.

Then, to teach inwards fifty-fifty easier, when that layer is total I layer some other canvas of newspaper on transcend in addition to scoop out to a greater extent than cookies.  Depending on the size of your scoops, this volition brand almost 18-24 cookies.

After your cookies are all scooped out, set inwards them inwards the fridge to cool until the butterscotch hardens dorsum up.  We genuinely similar ours inwards the freezer...they're laid upward to consume faster!  After they harden if at that spot are whatever left, continue them stored inwards the fridge or freezer until laid upward to eat.  Betcha can't consume simply one!

There are belike lots of variations of this recipe, including substituting crunchy Chinese noodles for the cornflakes.  I idea it would survive fun to stir inwards a few mini chocolate chips at the end, too.  Or, come across what creations the kids come upward up with! Gummy bears?  Nuts?  Sprinkles?  The heaven is the limit!

How convey I missed out on these my whole life?  I'm sheltered.

Have a happy, happy weekend, friends!  I remember at that spot are plans for a army camp out inwards the dorsum yard this evening to kicking off Spring Break.  I volition survive here.  Thank you lot in addition to therefore much for coming dorsum 1 time to a greater extent than in addition to 1 time to a greater extent than to read this blog...your encouragement keeps me going!
