Chow Mein Candy
This Chow Mein Candy is an old-fashioned no-bake treat made with crunchy chow mein noodles coated in a sweet butterscotch and peanut butter mixture. Just scoop the haystacks onto parchment and let them set.
Servings: 5 cups candy
Ingredients
- 3/4 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 tablespoon salted butter
- 2 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 5 ounce can chow mein noodles
- 2 tablespoons shortening
Instructions
- Lay a piece of wax or parchment paper on your counter top.
- In a double boiler, melt the butterscotch, butter, and peanut butter. Stir frequently.
- Once everything is melted and smooth, add in the shortening to thin out the butterscotch mixture. Stir the shortening through.
- Remove from the heat and add in the chow mein noodles. Stir until all the noodles are covered. There should be just enough butterscotch mixture to cover the noodles.
- After you've covered all the noodles, lay them out on the parchment paper. You don't want the noodles overlapping too much. Let dry for 20-30 minutes.
- Place in an airtight container.
