My aunt makes a variation of these for Christmas every year, and I absolutely love them. We call them nut goodie bars, but I've heard other people call them Rockie Road bars and a variety of other things.

1 bag butterscotch chips
1 bag milk chocolate chips
1 cup chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup other nuts (optional)
1 bag mini marshmallows

Heat the butterscotch chips in a sauce pan on low until they start to melt. Add the milk chocolate chips and stir until smooth. Add the peanut butter and stir until thoroughly mixed in. Take the sauce pan off the burner and pour in the nuts, if desired. Then pour in the mini marshmallows and stir until evenly coated. Pour into a 9x13 pan and put in the fridge until cool (1/2 hour to an hour).

If cut 5 x 7, each piece would be roughly 160 calories, without nuts.

The recipe can easily be adjusted to incorporate healthier options, but this is the way I've grown up with and I eat a piece a couple times a week as it is - i'm all about moderation.

    Sounds delicious! Do you think I could use dark chocolate? I prefer that over milk

    I think you definitely could. They probably melt a little slower than milk, so I would put them in at the same time as the butterscotch chips.
