In another bowl mix flour and baking soda and slowly add to butter mixture.

Stir in butterscotch chips, Andes mints and walnuts. Mix until completely incorporated.

Refrigerate for at least 2 hours but best if left refrigerated overnight.

When ready to bake preheat oven to 350°.

Bake in a parchment lined baking sheet or use an ungreased baking sheet.

Shape your "stones"as small or large as you like using 1 tsp up to 1 tbsp of the dough to roll each ball with.

Bake for 8 to 10 minutes. Cool and enjoy!
