Coconut cake is in the oven.

I haven't made these in a long time. The flavor combo of butterscotch and semisweet chips is one of my favorites. (the shopping good fortune continues - picked up a bag of chocolate chips at Publix that was marked on clearance for half-price. It didn't ring up at 50%, so they gave it to me for free! Free sweets - even better.)

Chow Mein Noodle Drops

1 part butterscotch chips
1 part semisweet chocolate chips
1.5 parts mini marshmallows
1.5 parts chow mein noodles

Over low heat, melt butterscotch and chocolate chips. When smooth, add marshmallows and remove from heat. Stir to coat and soften the marshmallows slightly, then toss in noodles. Stir to coat. Drop into mounds on a wax paper-covered baking sheet. Let cool. Or don't!



Back to the kitchen. There's fondant to roll.
