Easy No-bake Butterscotch Coconut Oaties

So maybe Butterscotch Coconut Oaties isn’t the most inspired name, but it’s better than Butterscotch Blobs, which was the runner up.

All that aside, these unfortunately named treats are easy, no bake, freezer-friendly and great tasting little blobs.

If you aren’t a fan of butterscotch, use chocolate chips instead. White chocolate would work, too (but you might want to add a few dried cranberries to cut the sweetness).
