Ingredients
- 1 cup butterscotch chips (300 grams)
- 1 cup chocolate chips semi-sweet
- 2 Tablespoons peanut butter (smooth or chunky)
- 3½ cups Chow Mein noodles steam fried, dried
- 1 cup cocktail peanuts (lightly crushed)
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with wax paper.
- In a large microwave safe bowl, add the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter. Microwave initially for 30 seconds. Stir. Continue microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring between each, until mixture is smooth and fully combined, about 3 minutes total. Do not over heat.
- Stir in the steam fried dried chow mein noodles and the crushed peanuts until well coated.
- Using a large ice cream or cookie scoop, quickly scoop roughly a ¼ cup of the mixture onto the lined baking sheet.
- Let cool until hardened, about 2 hours. Remove from the wax paper and store in an airtight container for up to 2 weeks.
