October 6: Noodle Cookies

Noodle Cookies

Ingredients:
2 cups chow mein noodles
1/2 cup miniature marshmallows
1/2 cup unsalted or lightly salted peanuts
2/3 cup butterscotch chips
4 oz dark chocolate, or about 16 Dove or Hershey's Bliss squares

1. Line a baking sheet with nonstick foil or parchment paper. Make sure it's one that's small enough to fit in the fridge.
2. In a large mixing bowl, stir together the noodles, marshmallows, and peanuts. Set aside.
3. In a small, microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and chocolate; heat at 50% power, stirring every 60 seconds, until melted and smooth. With a rubber scraper, scrape the chocolate into the noodle mixture and stir to coat the mixture. Drop by tablespoonfuls onto the prepared baking sheet. Chill until firm.

Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips

Before...

And after...

Thoughts: Anytime there is a no bake cookie, its easy. The most difficult part was properly melting the chocolate. I used roasted peanuts and 1.25 Dove chocolate bars. Patrick thought they were pretty awesome....I thought they were just ok.
