Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set it aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
Microwave the chocolate mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until fully melted and smooth. This should take about 1 to 2 minutes total.
In a large mixing bowl, add the crunchy chow mein noodles and shredded sweetened coconut.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the noodles and coconut. Gently mix until all ingredients are evenly coated with the chocolate.
Using a spoon, scoop spoonfuls of the mixture and drop them onto the lined baking sheet, forming small haystack-shaped mounds.
Let the haystacks cool and set completely at room temperature for about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can speed up the process by placing the baking sheet in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.
Once set, serve immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to 1 week.
