Ingredients

  • 12 oz semi-sweet chocolate
  • 11 oz butterscotch chips
  • 4 cups chow mein noodles

Instructions
 

  • Melt chocolate and butterscotch chips in a heatproof bowl and set over simmering water. Do not let water touch the bottom of the bowl or the chocolate could scorch. Stir until the mixture is melted and smooth.
  • Once smooth, remove from heat and add chow mein noodles. Stir until completely coated.
  • Using two spoons, drop candy (about 2 tablespoons) on parchment-lined baking sheets. Let cool until the chocolate is set.
  • Store in an airtight container up to 1 week or chill and store 3 weeks.

  1. I thought my mom was the only one who made those chow mein cookies! This recipe came into our house in early 1960s… no one liked them except for dad and me. My younger sister says every Christmas season, “Remember those awful butterscotch cookies?” Maybe I’ll make her a batch this year lol.
