Another great Kraft recipe. A nice combination of chocolate and butterscotch chips with peanut butter, peanuts, and chow mein noodles. A great candy gift for special occasions or as a hostess gift. You can use candy papers that are available at most dollar stores. Place the candy on a pretty plate (paper, plastic, or a pretty china plate from a second hand store). Line the plate with a paper doily also available at the dollar store. Cover the plate with plastic wrap, add a bow and voila! Or use the candy papers and a pretty box from the dollar store. I think raisins would be a great addition or substitution for the peanuts if you like. I used a heavy-bottom pot over low heat to melt the ingredients instead of the microwave oven. Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips |
1 cup butterscotch chips |
1/2 cup butter |
1/4 cup peanut butter |
2 cups chow mein noodles |
1 cup salted peanuts |
Directions:
1. Mix chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, butter and peanut butter in a large microwaveable bowl. 2. Microwave on MEDIUM for 3 to 4 minutes or until completely melted and mixture is well blended, stirring after one minute. 3. Add remaining ingredients, mix well. 4. Drop tablespoonfuls of mixture in 1-inch mounds onto wax paper-covered baking sheets. 5. Refrigerate 30 minutes or until firm. 6. Store in airtight container in refrigerator. |
