A new twist on party mixes, combining sweet butterscotch and chewy caramel with nuts, pretzels and cereal.

Prep: 5 min - Cook: 2 min - Cool: 20 min

2 cups oven-toasted cereal squares
2 cups small pretzel twists
1 cup dry roasted peanuts
1 cup caramels, unwrapped, coarsely chopped
1 2/3 cups (11-oz. pkg.) NESTLÉ TOLL HOUSE Butterscotch Flavored Morsels


COAT 13 x 9-inch baking pan with nonstick cooking spray.

COMBINE cereal, pretzels, peanuts and caramels in large bowl. Place morsels in medium, microwave-safe bowl. Microwave uncovered on MEDIUM-HIGH (70%) power for 1 minute; STIR. The morsels may retain some of their original shape. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted.

SPREAD mixture into prepared baking pan; let stand for 20 to 30 minutes or until firm. Break into small pieces.
