Here's the recipe if you'd like to try them:
I always double this and it makes approx. 4 dozen depending on how large/small you make them.
12 oz chocolate morsels
12 oz butterscotch morsels
1 c chopped nuts
3 oz chow mien noodles
Melt all the morsels together in a double boiler. Add nuts and noodles. Mix well. Drop by teaspoonfuls on a waxed paper covered cookie sheet. Cool briefly in freezer (or on deck!). Enjoy!
Emma dropped the gift of these to me this morning. Thanks so much. I ate one at snack time, and I've saved the rest to share out with hubby and aunt when we get to Maine tomorrow. They are absolutely delicious. I haven't had them since I was Emma's age - a long, long time ago.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lot of stirring - but well worth it. Thanks again.
