sweet-and-salty-corn-chipsDo you love sweet or salty snacks? Well this treat is the perfect balance of both sweet chocolatey butterscotch and super salty corn chips. I was first introduced to this interesting snack by my sister after she purchased a bag of it at a bake sale. The recipe uses the same delicious ingredients as Scotcheroo Bars minus the Rice Krispies. I was so excited to try this new concoction that I prepared it as an after school snack for my daughter and nieces. They gave it a thumbs up by quickly eating the entire platter full – no joke! It’s ooey, gooey, sticky, and fun to pick through for pieces with large globs of drizzle and some with just a little. So if you are looking for an out of the ordinary sweet snack, for a movie night or a fun summer party, try this recipe for Sweet and Salty Corn Chips.

Start by mixing the 1 cup of light corn syrup and 1 cup of sugar together in a pan over medium heat until it just starts to boil. Then remove the pan from the heat right away or the topping will be too hard.
