snicker fudge

so this was a recipe that was given to me by a co-worker and it came in handy for gift giving during the holiday season. this was a new sweet treat that was well received. i bundled this up for our cat sitter, the folks at the ski lodge & as a dessert on our vacation. i highly recommend making only 1/2 of this, as this went a loooooong way due to the richness.

1 c milk chocolate chips
1/2 c butterscotch chips
