Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Salted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture on 50% power in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until smooth and fully melted. This should take about 2-3 minutes. Avoid overheating.
In a large mixing bowl, add the chow mein noodles. If using, stir in the salted peanuts for added crunch.
Pour the melted chocolate mixture over the chow mein noodles and gently fold until all the noodles are evenly coated.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them out slightly, as they won't spread.
Place the baking sheets in the refrigerator and chill for at least 30 minutes, or until the cookies are firm and set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
