Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
Instructions
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and unsalted butter.
Microwave the chocolate, butterscotch, and butter mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Place the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the noodles and gently stir to coat completely.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the coated noodles and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them slightly to form a 'hat' shape.
Add sprinkles on top of the Straw Hats immediately, if desired, for decoration.
Let the Straw Hats cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you want them to set faster.
Once the Straw Hats are firm and the chocolate has hardened, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
