BUTTERSCOTCH POTATO CHIP TREATS
These butterscotch potato chip treats couldn’t possibly be easier to put together, and they are DELICIOUS! If you like sweet and salty, you’ll love them. Every time I’ve served these little treats, they have lasted all of two minutes. They require just four ingredients and very little time to prepare. They are the perfect sweet addition to any meal, gathering, potluck, etc.
Butterscotch Potato Chip Treats Ingredients Needed:
Butter
Mini Marshmallows
Butterscotch Chips
Ruffles Potato Chips, crushed
Recipe Notes: I use the Ruffles Potato Chips that have the ridges. They are a more robust and thicker chip. You can use any brand of potato chip you like, but just make sure they have the ridges. They work best in this recipe.

How about some nutrition info. Second request
Obviously we don’t do nutrition information, there are many apps or websites online that you can enter the ingredients into and get that information. We are southern cooks, that is all.
Can you make ahead & put in fridge.
I’m sure that would be fine, but I would let them sit out for a bit before serving so they will soften up. Thanks!
Made these treats last night. They are already gone! Delicious and beyond easy! Thank you for all the good recipes. I love this site.
Silly question but measure chips before crushing?
No, it is 6 cups of crushed chips, so crush the chips and then measure them.
Is it 6 cups, then crush or 6 cups of crushed chips
It is six cups of CRUSHED chips. So you would crush your chips and then measure them. Thanks!
Could you use milk or semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of butterscotch? Thanks!
You can always try it.
