Easy, No-Bake Chocolate Chow Mein Cookie Candies
Nothing says the holidays like a homemade candy with creamy chocolate, butterscotch coated chow mein noodles with crunchy peanuts and sweet marshmallows. It’s unique, easy, and delicious.
Equipment
- Large mixing bowl
- rubber spatula
- Half baking sheet
- Wax paper
- Spoon
- Microwave safe bowls
Ingredients
- 1 12 oz bag (340 g) chow mein noodles
- ½ cup (56 g) peanuts
- 1 12 oz bag semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 12 oz bag butterscotch chips
- 1 cup (45 g) mini marshmallows
Instructions
- Line two baking sheets with wax paper and set aside. (You can also put wax paper on the counter, but candies will have to set on the wax paper before moving.)
- In a large mixing bowl, combine chow mein noodles and peanuts. Mix until combined.
- In a microwave safe bowl, melt chocolate chips. Start with 30 seconds, stir and heat another 20 seconds. Continue to heat until smooth. Set aside. In another microwave safe bowl, melt butterscotch chips just as the chocolate chips.
- Combine melted chips together until smooth.
- You can melt chips together in a small saucepan but melting butterscotch can be tricky. Stir continuously until smooth.
- Pour melted chocolate mixture over chow mein noodle mixture and stir until coated.
- Pour mini marshmallows in mixture and stir until coated.
- Adding the mini marshmallows after the chocolate will help prevent them from melting too much.
- Spoon out tablespoons of mixture and place on wax paper. Allow to cool and enjoy!
