In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips, semi-sweet chocolate chips, and creamy peanut butter.
Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Fold in the chow mein noodles until they are evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a cookie scoop or two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
If using, add sprinkles immediately so they stick to the coating as it sets.
Let the cookies rest at room temperature for at least 4 hours to firm up completely before serving.
Store in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days, or freeze for up to 2 months.
Yes, store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 7 days. They can also be frozen for up to 2 months.
Crispy fried onions, crushed pretzels, or cornflakes work as crunchy alternatives, though they'll change the texture slightly.
Ensure the chocolate and butterscotch chips are fully melted and combined before adding noodles. If the mixture cools too quickly, gently reheat it.
Creamy peanut butter works best for smooth consistency; chunky peanut butter will create a grainier texture but still works.
Drop onto parchment paper and let sit at room temperature for 30–45 minutes until completely hardened before storing.
