Ingredients
- 1 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 cups crunchy chow mein noodles
- Optional toppings: Crushed peanuts or a drizzle of melted chocolate
Instructions
- Melt the Butterscotch Chips: Place butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 20-second intervals, stirring after each interval until smooth and fully melted.
- Combine with Peanut Butter: Stir in the peanut butter until fully mixed and smooth.
- Add Crunchy Noodles: Gently fold in the crunchy chow mein noodles, making sure they’re well-coated with the mixture.
- Shape and Chill: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a lined baking sheet to form small clusters. Chill in the fridge for at least 30 minutes until set.
- Serve: Optionally, top with crushed peanuts or drizzle with melted chocolate before serving.
Notes
- You can use smooth peanut butter instead of creamy for a slightly different texture.
- For more crunch, try substituting chow mein noodles with pretzel sticks, rice cereal, or cornflakes.
- If you like a spicy kick, add a pinch of cinnamon or cayenne to the mix.
