Guest Blogger! Butterscotch Chow Mein Candy
You are going to love this Butterscotch Chow Mein Candy!
Today we have our first guest blogger! My son, Brady, has always loved to tinker about in the kitchen. He comes up with fabulous recipes (like when he slices bananas, mixes them with raisins, and tops our waffles with them!). This is his favorite candy to make and so I am very pleased to introduce him as Southern Plate’s first guest blogger!
You will need: Bag of butterscotch chips, little bit of shortening, and chow mein noodles!
Stir until it looks like this!

Tomorrow, I’m going to give you a recipe that is economical, delicious, men ♥ it, kids ♥ it, AND it will save you from having to cook this weekend!
Remember, WE LOVE COMMENTS!! Thank you for reading!!
Do these ever go bad? I have some leftover in a ziplock baggy that my grandmother made and I’m wondering if I can still eat them!!
I wouldn’t think they would “go bad” but more of go stale after a while. If it were me, I’d try them, but it’s your call 🙂
In NC we called these Haystacks, like you said! Our recipe is a little different as we used half a bag of butterscotch chips and half a bag of semi-sweet, a bag of chow mein noodles and salted roasted peanuts (any kind but in those days there wasn’t any such thing as “dry roasted”). I’ve seen some with mini marshmallows in the mixture but not us. We just melted the chips in a pan over low heat then added the nuts and noodles, mixed well and dropped on wax paper. Hmmm…Nuts and Noodles has a ring to it. lol
