CANDY BAR COOKIES

This is a recipe I got years ago from the Knight Ridder Newspapers.

80 Ritz type crackers or 3 sleeves Waverly or Club crackers
3/4 cup butter
3/4 cup packed brown sugar
1 cup white sugar
1 1/2 cups graham cracker crumbs
1/3 cup milk
1 cup chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
3/4 cup peanut butter

Coat a 9 x 13-inch pan with nonstick cooking spray and line with a single layer of crackers.

Combine the butter, sugars, graham cracker crumbs and milk in a saucepan; bring to a boil over medium heat. Boil mixture 5 minutes. Pour half the mixture over the crackers in the pan.

Place a second layer of crackers over the sauce and pour the remaining sauce mixture over crackers. Top with a third layer of crackers.

In a heavy saucepan, over medium heat, combine the chocolate and butterscotch chips with the peanut butter, stirring just until smooth. Pour over the top layer of crackers.

Refrigerate until set.

Cut into 24 squares with a sharp knife dipped in cold water.
