Step 1
Line a baking tray with wax paper. If you don’t have a baking tray, lay the wax paper on a flat, clean surface. (Countertops or tables will work just fine.)
Step 2
Add two inches of water to the bottom of a double boiler or tall saucepan. Bring it to a boil, then turn it down to a low simmer.
Step 3
Place the top of the double boiler or a heatproof bowl over the simmering water. (the bowl shouldn't touch the water)
Step 4
Add the butterscotch chips and peanut butter to the top of the double boiler or bowl.
Step 5
Use an oven glove to hold the pot and stir with a rubber spatula, scraping the bottom and the sides of the pan frequently to prevent burning.
Step 6
Stir for about 5 minutes or until the mixture is fully incorporated and smooth.
Step 7
Remove the pot or bowl from the heat, and add the chow mein noodles and peanuts to the butterscotch mixture.
Step 8
Gently stir until the noodles and nuts are fully coated.
Step 9
Use a fork or spoon to drop evenly-sized clumps of the mixture onto the wax paper-lined tray.
Step 10
Allow to cool at room temperature until they’re set and no longer sticky. Enjoy!
