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!

Pour chips into saucepan. (You can easily microwave this if you’d rather)

Add one tablespoon of shortening.

Stir over low heat until melted.

Pour in Chow Mein noodles.
Stir until it looks like this!

Spoon onto waxed paper and let dry until hardened.

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!

  1. Brady, thank you for the reminder for this candy! I have made them before and put them in cup cake liners. We call them “bird nests”.

  2. Wow, good idea, Brady. The yumminess of butterscotch with the crunchiness of chow mein noodles. Sounds fantastic!

  3. Christy,thanks so much for posting.I use to make these when the kids were younger and its one of my daughters favs! I have always called them haystacks and put in peanuts..love the sweet/salty thing.I miss my kids being in the kitchen with me,especially at the holidays! Enjoy every nano second you have yours around! Merry Christmas to everyone on here,its a great group of foodies!

  4. We made these every year but instead of butterscotch my Mom always used the white chocolate bark, coating stuff that comes in a brick. They were so easy and good and no one ever realized just how easy they were to make. Love butterscotch, so I really should give this version a try, too!

  5. Wow! What a great idea. I love butterscotch, and I’m the kind of person that really REALLY needs to keep it simple when it comes to candy making. Thanks for this Brady, I’ll definitely be giving this one a try 🙂 And so very cool that you were the 1st guest blogger 😉
