Make these simple, crunchy no-bake cookies using chow mein noodles, chocolate, and butterscotch chips. They require no oven and set quickly.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 6 cups chow mein noodles (crispy, not soft)

Instructions

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 30 seconds. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and completely melted. Do not overheat.
  4. Pour the chow mein noodles into the melted mixture. Gently fold the noodles into the chocolate mixture until they are evenly coated. Work quickly before the mixture sets.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small mounds or ‘haystacks’.
  6. Let the cookies set at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 10 minutes to speed up the setting process.
  7. Serve once firm.

Notes

  • For a different flavor, substitute the peanut butter with an equal amount of coconut oil for a dairy-free option, though the texture will change slightly.
  • If you prefer only chocolate, use 2 cups of chocolate chips and omit the butterscotch chips.
  • Store finished cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
