Ingredients:
- 1 cup chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Chinese noodles
- 1 cup peanuts
Instructions:
-
Melt Chocolate and Butterscotch Chips: Begin by melting the chocolate and butterscotch chips together. You can do this either in the microwave or using a double boiler. If using the microwave, heat in short bursts, stirring in between until completely melted and smooth.
-
Mix in Chinese Noodles and Peanuts: Once the chips are melted, add in the Chinese noodles and peanuts. Stir gently until all ingredients are well combined and coated in the chocolate mixture. The combination of crunchy noodles and nutty peanuts will add both texture and flavor to your cookies.
-
Form Spider Shapes: Now comes the fun part! As best as you can, form the mixture into spider shapes, using about a tablespoon of the mixture for each cookie. Place these formed cookies onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Don’t worry if they don’t look exactly like spiders; the unique shapes will only add to their charm!
-
Freeze Until Firm: Once all the cookies are formed, transfer the cookie sheet to the freezer and allow the cookies to freeze until firm. This step is crucial for setting the cookies and ensuring they hold their shape.
-
Store in the Freezer: Once the cookies are firm, transfer them to an airtight container or resealable freezer bag, and store them in the freezer until ready to enjoy. Keeping them frozen not only preserves their shape but also gives them a delightful crunch when bitten into.
These spider cookies are perfect for serving at Halloween parties, as a fun snack for kids, or simply whenever you’re craving a sweet and satisfying treat. Enjoy the rich chocolatey flavor, the crunch of the noodles and peanuts, and the playful spirit of these delightful cookies! Remember, one is truly enough to satisfy your sweet cravings.
