Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter.
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (approximately 1-2 minutes total).
Add the chow mein noodles to the melted mixture and gently stir until the noodles are fully coated.
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the coated noodle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form small mounds or 'haystacks.'
Let the haystacks cool at room temperature until they are firm, about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once set, remove the haystacks from the baking sheet and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
