Would make this again.
These cookies are synonymous with Christmas in our family, but our recipe is a little different. We melt 6oz butterscotch and 1/2 creamy peanut butter together and mix in 2 c mini marshmallows until they just start to melt with 2 c chow mein noodles. They are addictive!

These are to die for. Be sure to try them. At a cookie swap, they rated the highest marks.

My Mom makes these with shoe string potatoes instead of chow mein noodles. Still yummy!!

I've made these since I was a little girl - they are always big hits and no one can ever guess the ingredients. You can also make a number of varieties - mint chocolate chips in place of the butterscotch chips are always a big hit too.
