Chocolate Rice Noodle Haystacks
"These are some of my favorite sweets. Easy and sooooo good! I found the recipe in a church cookbook and made a couple adjustments after making it. The original recipe called for chow mein noodles but I prefer the rice noodles. Yield is an estimate as it depends on how big you scoop them :) Update: Dec 2011 - I made these today and reduced the peanut butter by 2 Tbsp and it worked well. I have updated the ingredient amount to reflect the change."

- Ready In:
- 20mins
- Ingredients:
- 5
- Yields:
-
16 cookies
ingredients
- 3 ounces semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 3 ounces butterscotch chips
- 6 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
- 3 ounces asian-style crunchy noodles, see note*
- 1 cup mini marshmallows
directions
- Melt the chocolate chips, butterscotch chips and peanut butter in the microwave (be careful not to scorch! - my 900W microwave takes 1.5 minutes on 70% power or about 70 seconds on high), stirring every 25 seconds or so until smooth. You can also use a double boiler on the stovetop.
- Stir in the noodles and marshmallows.
- Drop by spoonfuls onto waxed paper or parchment paper and allow cookies to harden (may have to chill in fridge).
- *Note: These are made by La Choy and come in a blue cardboard can. They are sold as a "topper" for salads or main dishes and are made with rice and wheat flour. Not to be confused with regular dried noodles that you would boil and add a sauce to or use in a soup!

So easy to do. I also used chow mein noodles because I didn't find rice noodles. Next time I'll use only chocolate chips, and no butterscotch chips. It was hard to separate in small cookies. So I made large cookies. It's very good and crunchy. Thanks flower :) Made for PAC Spring 2012 -
A throwback to my childhood, these no-bake cookies are awesome! I used chow mein noodles because the only rice noodles we have here have to be boiled and wouldn't work for this. So easy - I will make these again! They also took under 10 minutes to make and did need to go in the fridge to harden. Made for my adopted chef for Fall PAC 2011. Thanks Flower7! -
My DD made these for my grandson's farm themed B-Day. I loved them! She did use chow mein noodles, because I told her the wrong kind to buy. They were still great. Next time we'll use the rice noodles! Great recipe. -
We really enjoyed these; they were a 'project' with my son (6 y.o.)! He really likes to help...with measuring and portioning! I subbed chow mein noodles (with flower7's OK) as I had a bunch on hand that needed to be used. They were kinda messy to form, and after a few, I just used a small ramekin to form them. I will try them again, the next time I have some rice noodles in the house! Thanks for sharing, flower7! -
These were very good. Next time I won't put so much peanut butter because they didn't set up completely and the peanut butter overtook the other flavors. Maybe about 1/3 or 1/4 cup. -----The reviewer that gave one star: how could any of the listed ingredients make anything "sour" or "rotten" you must have had a problem with your ingredients.

I have a degree in archaeology from a small Ohio college and I work for the Ohio History Connection. My passions are art, music, books, food, history, and cats/animal welfare. I also love photography. I have a 1,000 (plus) piece collection of vintage flower pins from the 1960's, hence the username ha. I also have small collections of vintage butterfly pins, vintage tablecloths, and vintage glass Christmas ornaments. (Can you tell I love vintage?) I took a trip to the Netherlands in March 2006 and fell in love! I doubt it will happen but if I ever have the opportunity I would love to live there.
