Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use a different type of chocolate instead of butterscotch?
Yes, you can substitute butterscotch morsels with semi-sweet or milk chocolate chips for a different flavor. Just be aware that the sweetness level may change, so you might want to adjust the amount of peanut butter accordingly.
How do I prevent the mixture from becoming too sticky?
If the mixture is too sticky to work with, you can lightly grease your hands or use a small scoop to drop the mixture onto waxed paper. Keeping your hands cool also helps prevent the mixture from melting and sticking too much.
Can I add other ingredients to the crunchies?
Absolutely! Feel free to add in mini chocolate chips, dried fruits, or even a sprinkle of sea salt on top for added flavor. Just ensure that the overall proportions remain balanced to maintain the texture of the crunchies.
