- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter

- 1/4 cup butter

- 1/4 cup heavy whipping cream

- 1 cup milk chocolate chips

Directions:

Line a 13x9" pan with foil. Grease foil with 2 butter and set aside.

In a small saucepan, combine 1 cup milk chocolate chips, 1/4 cup butterscotch chips, and 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter. Stir over low heat until melted and smooth. Spread into prepared pan. Refrigerate until set.

In a small saucepan, melt butter over medium heat. Add sugar and milk. Bring to a gentle boil, then reduce heat to medium low and cook while stirring for 5 minutes. Remove from heat.
