One of my all time favorite flavor combinations is that of salty and sweet. When they come together in the form of a no bake dessert, then I’m all in! That’s what’s happening here with these cookies.

This butterscotch version of Chocolate No-Bake Cookies is a delectable take on that classic recipe. The combination of smooth, butterscotch and peanut butter, coating crunchy corn flakes is just scrumptious.

To make these cookies even more temping, they’re finished off with a slight sprinkle of pink Himalayan sea salt. This is one sweet treat that’s so simple to make yet full of delicious indulgence!
