Do the same with the butterscotch morsels. pour over a tablespoon of nuts or fruit .. and then plop onto the wax paper. IF you need to remicrowave the chocolate do it for about 30 seconds and mix. . Make your lines of chocolate on one sheet and butterscotch candy on the other. ITs fun to do with kids .Make sure they use a spoon and warn them the chocolate is hot. They can drop on the cookie sheets. You can added choppednuts to the top of not. They look like messy little blobs. But once they are chilled in the fridge around 40 minutes, you can use a spatula and arrange them on a plate. I layer a square Plastic container and make layers . Keep them chilled in fridge or freezer in between uses. Serve and let stand to room temp . Theyre really good and you can be creative with what you use. The Chinese noodles make it very crunchy. People love them. I suppose designer chocolate could spice it up too.
