SALTED BUTTERSCOTCH & PECAN NO-BAKES

Salted Butterscotch & Pecan No-Bakes image

When I was deciding what type of cookie to make for a Christmas swap, I opted for something with coconut, pudding mix and salted caramel. Boxed, these could make a great gift as well. I like to drizzle caramel over the tops of the cookies before serving for a special touch. -Stacey Ritz, Sudbury, Ontario
