I’m not sure if you noticed, but it’s been a quiet week around here. I recently had a post featured on MSN and Delish (my Sheet Pan Eggs if you’re curious) and it brought lots – LOTS – of people here! Which is great – yay! I love people! But boo … my web hosting wasn’t quite ready for all those people. So, Shaken Together was down on and off for days before I finally had to plunk down some cash and move to a bigger, bright shiny new server. Let me tell you, I would much rather spend money on baking supplies and blog props than web hosting, but such is the life of the blogger. And I love you! So, while I count my new gray hairs, bring on the BUTTERSCOTCH!

Chewy Butterscotch Chex Clusters

Chewy Butterscotch Chex Clusters - corn cereal is drenched with an ultra butterscotch-y coating then broken apart into munchable clusters!

This dessert – snack? – treat? – is made with one pot and a sheet pan. After the last few days I had, I need easy. If you can stir and spread, then you can make a big ol’ pan of these Chewy Butterscotch Chex Clusters! Easy it is!

No Bake Chewy Butterscotch Chex Clusters - these will be your new guilty pleasure!

I really love the combination of slightly salty corn Chex cereal + the delightfully sweet butterscotch coating. Now, don’t expect this to be crunchy like Chex mix (or Nothing but Chex Mix if you’re a fan like me) … these have a little ‘give’and chew thanks to that warm drench in butterscotch the cereal got. I just love that warm brown sugar, butter flavor that is the base of butterscotch.

Look closely and you can see that glorious butterscotch coating that has settled in to all of the nooks and crannies of the cereal …

No Bake Chewy Butterscotch Chex Clusters are the perfect bite - a little sweet, a little salty and totally munchable!

This is a great road trip snack. It is perfect to pack on a picnic. Or tuck in a lunch box. Or to nibble on while you celebrate seeing your blog back up and running! Oh. Maybe that is just me 😉

So, yay! I’m back and I brought Chewy Butterscotch Chex Clusters!

  1. Needed more cereal. Good taste but a little soft. I like crunchy. If I make these again I would add more cereal
