Line 2 baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring in between, until smooth and completely melted. Be careful not to overheat.
Add the chow mein noodles to the melted chocolate and peanut butter mixture. Stir gently to coat the noodles evenly.
If using peanuts, fold them into the mixture to add an extra crunch.
Using a tablespoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, spacing them out slightly.
Allow the clusters to cool at room temperature for 1 hour or place them in the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes to set.
Once fully hardened, transfer the clusters to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to a week or refrigerated for longer freshness.
