I got this recipe from a friend. I first had this at her house and was scribbling the recipe down almost immediately. We don't always have butterscotch chips, milk chocolate chips work well with the recipe too.

This is amazing! I followed the recipe exactly since I was making it the first time. It is crunchy, sweet and buttery. I left the nuts out - I prefer my sweet corn without nuts. I used a big foil roaster that I picked up from the local grocery. Cleanup was very easy. Thanks so much Mirj for posting such an easy and tasty recipe. This is definitely a keeper!Reply
