Ingredients
Scale
1 (12 ounce) package butterscotch chips
1 (12 ounce) package semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
3 cups chow mein noodles
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
Combine the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl.
Microwave on high for 60 seconds. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth.
Pour the chow mein noodles into the melted chip mixture. Stir gently until the noodles are fully coated.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small clusters.
Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes until firm.
Notes
For a variation, substitute half the chow mein noodles with shredded coconut or quick-cooking oats.
If you prefer a stronger chocolate flavor, use dark chocolate chips instead of semi-sweet.
These cookies store well in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
