Ingredients

• 2 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
• 1 cup Butterscotch chips
• 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter
• 3 cups Chow mein noodles
• 1 cup Salted roasted peanuts

Directions

Step 1

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats 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 well after each interval, until smooth and fully melted (approximately 2–3 minutes total).

Step 4

Once melted, stir in the chow mein noodles and salted roasted peanuts. Ensure all the noodles and peanuts are well-coated with the chocolate mixture.

Step 5

Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop clusters of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets. Space them slightly apart so they don’t stick together.

Step 6

Allow the clusters to cool and set at room temperature for about an hour. Alternatively, place the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 20–30 minutes to speed up the setting process.

Step 7

Once the clusters are firm, transfer them to an airtight container for storage. They can be stored at room temperature for up to one week or in the refrigerator for longer freshness.
