Sticks & Stones Chocolate Treats

What with it being Halloween time, and with Thanksgiving and Christmas time just around the corner, I thought I'd share a recipe for a sweet chocolate treat that's great to share through these holidays. Ingredients needed: 11 oz of butterscotch chips, 1 1/2 c of semi-sweet chocolate chips,1/2 c of creamy peanut butter,
2 c of thin pretzel sticks, 2 c of dry roasted peanuts, 10 oz of chocolate-covered raisins. Preparations are as follows: BUTTER the sides and bottom of a 9x13 inch glass baking dish. MICROWAVE 1 1/3 cups butterscotch morsels, semi-sweet morsels and peanut butter in a large, microwave-safe bowl on HIGH  for 1 minute; stir. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, stirring until smooth. ADD pretzels, peanuts and chocolate covered raisins; stir well to coat. Spread into prepared baking dish. PLACE  the remaining butterscotch morsels in small, heavy-duty plastic bag. Microwave on MEDIUM-HIGH for 30 seconds; knead bag to mix. Microwave at additional 10- to 20-second intervals, kneading until smooth. Cut tiny corner from bag; squeeze to drizzle over candy. REFRIGERATE for 1 hour or until firm. Break into bite-size pieces. Enjoy.
