I've been making these since I was a teenager. Grandma Campbell just adored these candies & my Grandma Debelak loved them too. So during the holidays I would be sure to take a plate to both of them. They especially loved the marshmallows & nuts. It is a delicious combination if you love all these goodies and the crunch...

Number Of Ingredients 5

11 oz butterscotch chips, bag
1 c peanut butter
12 oz chow mein noodles (less 1 cup)
10 1/2 oz marshmallows, mini -- bag (less 1/2 cup)
9 oz peanuts, chopped or whole

Steps:

  • 1. Gather your ingredients
  • 2. Mix the chow mein noodles & peanuts in a large bowl.
  • 3. Melt down your butterscotch chips and 1 cup of peanut butter in a double boiler or your microwave (if that's what you use to melt chocolates). Immediately add to your noodles & peanuts. Stir with two spoons. (Wooden spoon works well in stirring). Add your marshmallows 1/4 at a time till all combined. (You can use leftover marshmallows in hot chocolate and chow mein noodles on one of your homemade salads or a stirfry meal.)
  • 4. Spoon out on to wax paper and then shape the candy a little if need be.
  • 5. Let them sit at least 1/2 hour till the candy is dry and then plate or store in a sealed container. Try and eat within 3 days...with the marshmallows added it shortens there freshness time. The mallows with get dry if stored too long.
