This is fabulous! I wanted to make a quick dessert and decided to give this a try. I used a bag of butterscotch chips, dry-roasted peanuts, 2 cups all-bran cereal ( I didn't have any chow mein noodles on hand), and 1/4 cup flaked coconut-they turned out so good I can't stop eating them ! It's quick, easy, and you can use just about anything on hand and it will come out delicious.

Two bags of butterscotch chips to one 5 oz container of chow mein noodles seemed to work a little better to make these candy clusters. I even left out the peanuts due to allergies and turned out tasty.
