These one-of-a-kind winter cookies are a must-have at Christmas parties, as they look so fancy and festive, not to mention delicious. They are so fun and so easy to make, it’s not even funny.

What you’ll need:

A double-boiler, or means to melt butterscotch

Cooking parchment paper

One bag (11oz.) of butterscotch chips

6oz. of Chow Mein noodles

Half a bag of mini marshmallows

6oz. of cocktail peanuts

Instructions:

1.) Put a small amount of water into a large pot and light the fire to a low heat.

2.) Dump bag of butterscotch chips into double-boiler (or second, smaller pot) and place in the pot in the other pot of boiling water.

3.) Stir periodically until all of the chips have melted and become one solid mass.

4.) Dump the Chow Mein noodles, peanuts and marshmallows into a mixing bowl.

5.) Then scoop out butterscotch into mixing bowl.

6.) Stir together gently until the butterscotch has been mixed through all of the dry ingredients.

7.) With a fork and spoon, grab clumps of batter into “haystack” shapes onto parchment paper (parchment can be placed on counter or cookie sheet) and let cool. After about 20 minutes, they should be firm enough to place on a serving dish to take to friends and relatives as a festive dessert for a Christmas party or get-togethers.

Wasn’t that easy?
