Tumbleweeds blow across the roads in some parts of Texas, and I think these cute stacks look like them. I've been making these sweets with my sister for years. —Karen Lemay, Seabrook, Texas

Ingredients

  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1 can (9 ounces) potato sticks (about 6 cups)

Directions

  1. In a large microwave-safe bowl in a microwave or in a large metal bowl over simmering water, melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter; stir until smooth. Gently stir in potato sticks.
  2. Drop mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls onto waxed paper-lined baking sheets. Refrigerate 10-15 minutes or until set.

Test Kitchen tips
  • A perfect pair: Swap chocolate chips for the butterscotch and Nutella for the peanut butter. Heavenly!
  • No potato sticks on hand? Try using crushed potato chips.
