Chocolate Butterscotch "Can't Eat Just One" Cookies

 

This is the easiest no-bake cookie recipe ever.  It is a variation of the Haystack Cookie which uses Chinese noodles.  I substitute Rice Crispy cereal because the noodles are quite hard once the chocolate sets up

My kids love them and now the grand kids are enjoying them, too.  Warning:  It is hard to stop at one or two.








Chocolate Butterscotch No Bake Cookies

1 12 ounce package of semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 12 ounce package of butterscotch chips
6 cups of rice crispy cereal
4 cups of miniature marshmallows

Melt the chips together in the microwave for about 1 1/2 minutes.  Stir and continue melting in the microwave at 30 second intervals, stirring each time.  Do not overcook or the chips will start to harden from too much heat and you can't re-melt them.

Once all the chips are  melted into a smooth consistency, add cereal and marshmallows.  Stir until completely coated.  Drop by spoons full onto waxed paper.  Let set up at room temperature.

Variations:  Add a cup of chopped nuts, use a large can of Chinese noodles or Chex Rice cereal in lieu of the Rice Crispy cereal.

For Easter, they can be shaped into a nest.  Place a jelly bean or small egg in each one.

Enjoy!
