Ingredients
Scale
Main Ingredients:
- 1 cup (240 milliliters) creamy peanut butter
- 2 cups (226 grams) crunchy chow mein noodles
Flavor Enhancers:
- 1 cup (170 grams) butterscotch chips
Optional Crunchy Additions:
- ½ cup (60 grams) salted peanuts or chopped pretzels
Instructions
- Prepare a parchment-lined baking sheet to capture the delectable clusters of crunchy confection.
- Select a microwave-safe vessel and combine the rich peanut butter with golden butterscotch chips, creating a luxurious base for the treat.
- Carefully melt the mixture in precise 20-second bursts, stirring between each interval to ensure a silky, uniform consistency without scorching.
- Gently fold the crisp chow mein noodles into the molten mixture, ensuring each strand gets thoroughly coated while maintaining its structural integrity.
- If desired, incorporate chopped peanuts or crushed pretzels to enhance the textural complexity of the clusters.
- Delicately spoon dollops of the noodle mixture onto the prepared parchment, crafting bite-sized morsels with rustic charm.
- Transfer the baking sheet to the refrigerator, allowing the clusters to solidify and develop a satisfying crunch for approximately 30 minutes.
- Once set, liberate the clusters from the parchment and serve immediately, or preserve their freshness in an airtight container within the cool confines of the refrigerator.
Notes
- Experiment with different types of nut butter like almond or cashew for unique flavor variations and potential allergy-friendly options.
- Toast the chow mein noodles briefly before mixing to enhance their crunchiness and add a deeper, nuttier taste profile.
- Replace butterscotch chips with dark chocolate chips for a less sweet version that appeals to more sophisticated palates.
- Use gluten-free chow mein noodles to make this treat completely celiac and gluten-sensitive friendly without compromising texture.
