Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 11 oz Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 3 cups Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Mini marshmallows
- 0.5 cup Salted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
In a medium saucepan, set over low heat, melt the butterscotch chips, stirring frequently to prevent scorching. This should take about 3-5 minutes.
Once the butterscotch chips are fully melted and smooth, stir in the peanut butter until the mixture is well combined and creamy.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately fold in the chow mein noodles, mini marshmallows, and peanuts (if using) until everything is coated evenly in the butterscotch-peanut butter mixture.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop dollops of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, ensuring they are evenly spaced. These will be your 'things'.
Let the treats cool at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or until set. Alternatively, place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for quicker setting.
Once fully set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
