Ingredients
- 2 bags of butterscotch chips (11 ounces each)
- 1 cup unsalted peanuts
- 5 ounces chow mein noodles
- candy eggs
Instructions
- Melt butterscotch chips in a microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds. Stir. Heat an additional 30 seconds. Continue heating in 10-20 second intervals until melted and smooth. DO NOT OVERHEAT or the butterscotch chips will seize and become hard. Alternatively, you can melt the butterscotch chips in a double boiler or on the stove over low-medium heat.
- Stir in peanuts and chow mein noodles.
- Scoop onto a parchment paper-lined cookie sheet.
- Top each cookie with candy eggs, pressing down into the melted chocolate (butterscotch) with your thumb.
- Allow cookies to set completely on the counter or in the fridge.
