Ingredients
- 4 cups Chow mein noodles
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Butterscotch chips
- 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (approximately 1-2 minutes total).
Step 4
Add the chow mein noodles to the melted mixture and gently stir until the noodles are fully coated.
Step 5
Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the coated noodle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form small mounds or 'haystacks.'
Step 6
Let the haystacks cool at room temperature until they are firm, about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 7
Once set, remove the haystacks from the baking sheet and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
