Have you heard of these new Boo-tterscotch M&M’s? Or rather Butterscotch M&M’s? (Boo-tterscotch
Well, they are quite spectacular and should I daresay…wayyyy better than actual butterscotch chips and they are absolutely wonderfully delicious in this fall inspired Boo-tterscotch M&M Chocolate Chip Cookie Cake — that you should not live without!
They are amazing, creamy white chocolate butterscotch candy coated treats that pack a powerful punch of intense butterscotch flavor.

Some of the other fall M&M flavors, that have came out include these scrumptious Autumn Pecan Pie M&M Blondies using Pecan Pie M&Ms and the year before these Candy Corn Double Chocolate Cookies using Candy Corn M&Ms. BTW..Those Candy Corn M&M’s are super addicting! Watch out!

Notes
My husband, son and I would fight over the last piece of this cookie cake! I did not know about those M&M’s, so plan to look for them at my local Target.
I didn’t know about them either until I went shopping last weekend with my sister and mom! I was O yea! 🙂 Let me know who wins the battle! LOL
This looks amazing! I found these M&M’s at Target too and just used them to make Boo-tterscotch M&M pudding cookies! I love how thick your cookie cake looks….I want to sink my teeth into it! Yum 😋
Thank you Kelly! Those cookies sounds amazing…I’m going to have to check those out on your blog for sure! 🙂
Ok apparently I can’t spell my name right. Hahaha sorry. Above comment was from me 🙂
Where do you use the M&Ms in recipe? The chips are used in step 6, but not the M&Ms?
Sorry, Kim, same time as the chocolate chips! I will update! Thank you and enjoy!
