One of my favorite holiday pastimes is making candy, but especially candy like this that’s simple enough that it doesn’t even require a thermometer or a stovetop. They’re similar to a haystack in their simplicity, but these no-cook no-bake Butterscotch Candy Clusters have a few extra tricks up their sleeve for added texture and flavor (but that doesn’t mean any more work for you).
These little beauties start with both white chocolate chips and butterscotch chips that are melted together. (But don’t worry, you can definitely just use the microwave. No double boilers here.)
