Ingredients
- 4 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 cup milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 0.25 cup sprinkles (optional)
Directions
Step 1
Prepare a large baking sheet by lining it with parchment or wax paper. Set aside.
Step 2
In a medium-sized microwave-safe bowl, combine the milk chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and unsalted butter.
Step 3
Microwave the chocolate, butterscotch, and butter mixture in 20-second intervals, stirring well between each, until fully melted and smooth. Be careful not to overheat.
Step 4
Place the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch mixture over the noodles and gently stir to coat completely.
Step 5
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, scoop out portions of the coated noodles and place them onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them slightly to form a 'hat' shape.
Step 6
Add sprinkles on top of the Straw Hats immediately, if desired, for decoration.
Step 7
Let the Straw Hats cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or refrigerate for 15 minutes if you want them to set faster.
Step 8
Once the Straw Hats are firm and the chocolate has hardened, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
