These little candies don’t look like much but trust me they are something special.  The butterscotch chips mixed into the semi-sweet chocolate smells amazing and leave people wondering what secret ingredient makes them so addictive!  They are a Christmas tradition in my office and but you will find them a welcome treat any time of year.  This recipe makes a lot of candies so be ready to give them away.  If it doesn’t make quite enough for all of your friends and family, then luckily it is easy enough to make more.

About chaos

cha·os -noun 1. a condition or place of great disorder or confusion. My chaotic kitchen is the result of three kids, two adults, dog, cat, and fish, a food obsession, a wine drinking hobby, and too few hours in the day. Between trying to feed a family of five healthy, happy meals, watching my weight, saving my pennies, and staying partially sane I have picked up a few tricks along the way. So here they are: the very best tips, tricks, and recipes from my chaotic kitchen-to yours!
