Instructions
- In a large bowl toss fried chow mein noodles and salted peanuts together. Set it aside.
- Add butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter in another bowl. Melt in the microwave or double boiler until just melted. Do not overheat.
- Whisk the mix until smooth and creamy.
- Pour the mix over the chow mein noodles and peanuts mix.
- Using a silicon spatula stir with gentle hands to get a uniform coat of chow mein noodles. Make sure not to break the noodles too much.
- Using a 2-tablespoon scoop, scoop cookies onto parchment paper or wax paper lined on a baking tray.Note: if using an ice cream scoop be careful not to break chow mein noodles too much. I prefer to use wide spoons to scoop the cookies to avoid breaking noodles. But I found using 2 spoons one large and one small spoon is the best way to scoop out cookies without breaking them so they retain a ‘haystack’ shape.
- Immediately add sprinkles on top.
- Allow it to set until completely hardened. Let it sit at room temperature for about 3-6 hours or pop it in the fridge for about 1 hour or until set.
- Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Nutritional Info – Please keep in mind that the nutritional information provided is only a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on the products used.
- Butterscotch chips that you use should be baking-meltable chips. Use good branded chips. Some brands of chips don’t melt properly. Do NOT overheat the chips and peanut butter mix. It’s okay if some bits are not completely melted. You can use baking chocolate chips or chocolate bark(white or dark) instead of butterscotch chips to make white and dark brown cookies. Use old-fashioned, sweetened-with-sugar, creamy peanut butter for best-tasting cookies. Use a silicon spatula to gently fold in the chow mein noodles. Do not rush this step. Chow mein noodles will break. Using 2 spoons one large and one small spoon is the best way to scoop out cookies without breaking them so they retain a ‘haystack’ shape. Avoid using an ice cream scoop, as it will break chow mein noodles. Let cookies sit at room temperature to set completely. If you are in a rush, you can pop it in the fridge for a quick setting.
