Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 0.25 cup Optional sprinkles
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets 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 in 30-second increments, stirring well after each increment, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Stir in the vanilla extract to the melted mixture.
Add the chow mein noodles to the bowl and gently fold them into the mixture until fully coated.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop portions of the coated noodles onto the prepared baking sheets to form clusters.
If desired, sprinkle your noodle clusters with colorful sprinkles for added decoration.
Let the noodle candy clusters cool and set completely at room temperature for about 1 to 2 hours, or speed up the process by placing the tray in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
Once the clusters are fully set, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They will keep fresh for up to 1 week at room temperature.
