Personal Notes:
* I first tried this recipe when it was on the back of the Special K box in the mid to late 70's. The recipe at that time called for one pkg. of choc. chips and one pkg. of butterscotch chips. Together these were melted together for the topping. There wasn't peanut butter added. The mixture is really yummy!”
