30 minThese are the no-bake treats that vanish from every potluck, bake sale, and holiday cookie platter.
Chow mein noodles get tossed in melted marshmallow and butter, then dropped in clusters onto a baking sheet.
While they set, caramels melt down with peanut butter into a silky drizzle that goes right over the top.
Salty, sweet, crunchy, chewy. All in one bite. All in 30 minutes.
Kitchen Tips
- Melt the marshmallows on low heat or use short microwave bursts. Scorched marshmallow turns grainy and won’t coat the noodles evenly.
- Work fast when tossing the noodles. The marshmallow mixture firms up quickly, and cold noodle clusters won’t hold together.
- Use crunchy peanut butter in the caramel drizzle for extra texture, or smooth if you want that clean, glossy finish.
