Ingredients
  

Instructions
 

  • Spray a small crock pot with nonstick spray and turn on LOW. Add chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter to the crockpot. Cover with lid and slow cook about 30 to 45 minutes. Note: stir the mixture periodically, as once a few chips start to melt, the rest will melt quickly.

Kori's Tips

  • Don't miss our helpful hints, substitution ideas, cooking tips, and delicious recipes that can be found in our post. Check it out!
  • For faster melting, preheat the crock pot. Melting takes about 20 to 30 minutes (or less) once the crockpot is warm.
  • To prevent sticking, spray nonstick spray or rub butter, or other oil before adding chocolate.
  • Periodically stir the mixture. Once a few chips melt, it doesn't take long for the rest to follow.
  • Regular chips can be substitute for sugar-free. Also, you can use a whole bag (10 to 12 ounces) if you want.
  • If you are unable to find butterscotch chops, substitute salted caramel baking chips (closest in flavor), or white chocolate chips.
