Great Grandma's Candy Recipe!!!


OUR HOLIDAY TRADITION TREATS!
Here's the recipe for our traditional chocolate candy
treat that my mom passed down to me from her grandma.
I've keep the tradition going by making the yummy candy each year with my boys.

Place pan on a low heat and start by adding your 1 (12oz) package of chocolate chips and make sure to constantly stir.

Then you add in 1 (12oz) package of Butterscotch chips and 1 cup of peanut butter
P.S. That is a pretzel that my little Joshie has not a cigar! :)

then the spanish peanuts and don't forget to keep stirring.

Remove from the stove top and add the marshmallows and stir stir stir...

keep stirring! :)

Pour all the candy into a large shallow pan spreading it out evenly all over.

Very easy and now all you need to do is refrigerate for a few hours and then cut into small squares and enjoy! :)

Happy Holidays,
tammy i
