Chow Clusters Treat

​
Making these simple "cookies" with my young grandkids marked me as their "Cooking Grandma"  who knew her way around a kitchen. Now that the kids are older, I'm going to tutor them in making these treats on their own, giving them the option of adding peanuts or cashews or finely shredded coconut. The only caution is to keep the hot chocolate from burning in the pan and then on one's fingers while shaping the cookies. I wonder who will get to lick the pan.

Makes about 20 cookies   Preparation time: 20 minutes   Cooling time: about half an hour
Ingredients
2 cups semi-sweet chocolate chips
2 cups buttersctoch chips
10 ounces chow mein noodles
Optional ingredients: 1/2 cup peanuts, cashews, or finely shredded coconut
Directions
1. Combine chocolate and butterscotch chips in double boiler or heavy saucepan.  Melt over low heat stirring constantly. (The double boiler helps keep the chocolate from burning. If the chocolate starts to appear grainy, it's overcooked. )
2. Remove from heat and stir in the chow mein noodles. and any other ingredients.
3. Mix quickly to coat noodles.
​4. Dip out teaspoonfuls on wax paper and cool.


​I hope you enjoy my recipes. Let me know if you've tried any of them and how they turned out.

Good cooking to you! Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!
​Linda

    Linda M. Kurth is the creative mind behind such stories as the romance, Home of the Heart, and her  memoir, God, the Devil and Divorce, as well as the recipes and crafts you'll find in these pages. Here's how this blog began:
    ​
    "This chicken salad is fabulous" my writer friends told me at our little luncheon. "We want the recipe."

    "I've been thinking of starting a recipe blog," I said. "This will be the first dish on it. Will that work for you?"

    "Do it!" they urged. 

    I've thought about creating a cookbook for years, but with all of my other activities, I realize that's not going to happen in the traditional sense. So I'm happy to have this venue to share my favorite dishes and discoveries. I hope you'll find some dishes here that become some of your favorites too.
