Chocolate Butterscotch Bird Nests

Start by melting the butterscotch and chocolate morsels together in a large bowl. You can use a double boiler, but the lazy way is to put it in the microwave for 2 1/2 minutes and stir it every 30 seconds. It works just as well.

Add the peanuts and chow mein noodles to the bowl. Stir gently until the noodles and peanuts are evenly coated. It takes a couple minutes, so don’t rush. Just keep folding it over so as to not break it all up.

Line 2 cookie sheets with some parchment or waxed paper. Use a fork to scoop out clumps just a little bigger than a golf ball. You should be able to get 12 on each sheet.

Refrigerate for at least an hour until the chocolate is hard. Store them in the refrigerator so that they don’t get all melty, unless that’s your intention, in which case it sounds like the most delicious mess ever.
