If you’re looking for a super simple recipe to make with your little ones, this one is basically fool proof and so fun for toddlers!
You will need: Bag of butterscotch chips, little bit of shortening, and chow mein noodles!
Pour chips into saucepan. (You can easily microwave this if you’d rather)
Add one tablespoon of shortening.
Stir over low heat until melted.
Pour in Chow Mein noodles.
Stir until it looks like this!
Spoon onto waxed paper and let dry until hardened.
YUMM!! These Butterscotch Chow Mein Candies are super simple and my kids go crazy over them! A great cooking project for any kid to do with their parents!
I always substitute Organic Coconut Oil for any recipe that calls for shortening. If you buy the Coconut Oil that has NOT been refined it will have the coconut flavor and it is awesome in recipes like coconut cake, but for using in recipes that I prefer not to have the coconut flavor, I use the one that is minimally refined and takes out the taste and smell of the coconut. Hence, you get the healthy benefits of the coconut oil and it not being “hydrogenated” with 0 trans fats. 😉
How cool that lil Brady was your first guest blogger. Tell him hi for us!
I’m sooo making these today to give as gifts!!
I just did this but I used 2 cups of butterscotch and 2 cups of chocolate chips. Tried to melt it in the microwave and it got a bunch of oil/water on top and i threw it out. What did i do wrong. I was doing it at 30 secs. and then stir and do another 30
Oh boy…Holly Jollies with butterscotch instead of chocolate! Yumm! (I made the same thing last night for a party only used the chocolate.)
Oh I love these, so yummy! Need to make them! Thanks Christy and Brady!
Can;t wait for the recipe tomarrow!
My family makes these, but instead of the noodles, we use potato sticks ( you know, the ones that come in a can and look like teeny fries). Both butterscotch or chocolate are delicious with the potato sticks.
