I'm not a big fan of butterscotch, but I still enjoyed this candy. The peanuts add a nice flavor and texture.

This candy is a great way to use up leftover peanuts. I always have a bag of peanuts in my pantry, so it's nice to have a recipe that I can use them in.

I had some trouble getting the candy to set properly. I think I might have cooked it for too long. But even though it's a bit soft, it still tastes great!

This candy is a bit too sweet for my taste, but it's still good. I think I'll try reducing the amount of sugar next time.

This candy is delicious! The butterscotch flavor is rich and creamy, and the peanuts add a nice crunch. I'll definitely be making this again.
