My rich bars are studded with the all-American peanut. I like to think famed peanut farmer Jimmy Carter would approve.

MY REVIEW

"I found that I had to use a full package of butterscotch morsels. I also doubled the amount of butter and syrup. On my 2nd batch of butterscotch topping, I'd used maple syrup since I didn't have enough corn syrup. Doubling the butterscotch topping worked for me in that I had enough to top the peanuts! delowenstein, TOH Volunteer Field Editor"
