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!
YUMM!! These Butterscotch Chow Mein Candies are super simple and my kids go crazy over them! A great cooking project for any kid to do with their parents!
Ingredients
- 1 bag Butterscotch chips
- 1 Tablespoon shortening
- 1 bag chow mein noodles

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!!
I always substitute Organic Coconut Oil for any recipe that calls for shortening. If you buy the Coconut Oil that has NOT been refined it will have the coconut flavor and it is awesome in recipes like coconut cake, but for using in recipes that I prefer not to have the coconut flavor, I use the one that is minimally refined and takes out the taste and smell of the coconut. Hence, you get the healthy benefits of the coconut oil and it not being “hydrogenated” with 0 trans fats. 😉
How cool that lil Brady was your first guest blogger. Tell him hi for us!
I’m sooo making these today to give as gifts!!
I just did this but I used 2 cups of butterscotch and 2 cups of chocolate chips. Tried to melt it in the microwave and it got a bunch of oil/water on top and i threw it out. What did i do wrong. I was doing it at 30 secs. and then stir and do another 30
Oh boy…Holly Jollies with butterscotch instead of chocolate! Yumm! (I made the same thing last night for a party only used the chocolate.)
Oh I love these, so yummy! Need to make them! Thanks Christy and Brady!
Can;t wait for the recipe tomarrow!
My family makes these, but instead of the noodles, we use potato sticks ( you know, the ones that come in a can and look like teeny fries). Both butterscotch or chocolate are delicious with the potato sticks.
