I have been making them every year now for the past five years. We find them to be irresistible. Be careful, you and your family might too! If you look up this recipe online, there a number of different versions. The recipe I use is very simple. It contains 1 1/2 cups of Butterscotch chips, 3/4 cup of peanut butter, 1 cup of salted (or unsalted if you prefer) peanuts, and 5 oz. of chow mien noodles. This recipe version is provided by Barb Kiebel on http://www.creativeculinary.com. This is a pretty simple recipe. I have made a few minor changes to the instructions and ingredient quantities. Melting Butterscotch Chips However, I do want to provide a word of caution. Be careful when melting your chips; they melt differently than chocolate. My experience is that they tend to hold their shape more and must be stirred frequently. If you wait until they look melted, you will likely overheat them. I did this once and had to go back to the store for more chips. Talk about frustrating. I put the chips in the microwave and stir them every 15 seconds. *You can also do this in a double boiler. However, I prefer the microwave method. Instructions Combine your peanuts and chow mien noodles in a large bowl. Now, carefully melt your chips. Once they are almost completely melted (about 3/4), remove them from the microwave and stir them until smooth. Add in your peanut butter and continue to stir until well blended. Next, add this into your bowl with your peanuts and noodles. Use a wooden spoon to mix until everything is well combined. One last step, use a spoon to drop your mixture onto a cookie sheet lined with parchment or wax paper.  That’s it! I would love to hear what you think of these. Happy Holidays from My Kitchen to Yours!
