Just watch it carefully. I've never used a double boiler...just put it on a medium low heat and stir stir stir! :)

Karen, these look sinfully wonderful - perfect teenager food, LOL. I'm going to try to make these today. Hey - I was wondering how tricky the whole melting of the chips step really is. Should I use a double boiler or can I just watch carefully?

Yay! So glad it turned out(after the first batch of course)! Great idea using the double boiler....it does require a lot of attention so you don't burn it. So glad they were a hit!

Delicious! Tried them last night for a cook out. After irreparably burning the first batch of peanut butter/butter/butterscotch mixture (because it took forever to melt those chips into the peanut butter) I threw it out and started again by melting the butter with the butterscotch chips over a double boiler until smooth, and then added them to the melted peanut butter. This yielded a perfect batch! They were a hit. Thanks for the recipe! In fact, I think I hear the left overs calling me now......

Hmmmm....well, perhaps something like caramel toffee? Anything with that butterscotch-y flavour could work. Or - you could always just use chocolate chips. Won't have quite the same flavour or colour but I imagine would still be quite delish. Kind of like a deluxe Reece's Peanut Butter Cup. Give it a try!
