Hard Butterscotch Candy Recipe

Answer 3

You would have to break down the hard butterscotch candy and try to re-melt it in order to stir in the nuts to make peanut brittle. Better to start from scratch and make the peanut brittle in the old fashioned way. Better yet, go out and BUY it!!

Answer 4

I think you would burn the butterscotch before it would really melt down. Try allrecipes.com. I used to know a lady who made it in the microwave but I don't know how she did it!
