Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the sweetened condensed milk, chocolate chips, and butter together and bring to a boil.

- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper.
- Let the candies cool and set before serving.
Tips & Substitutions
For a creamier texture, consider using semi-sweet chocolate chips instead of regular ones. If you want to add a bit of crunch, try adding crushed nuts or even dried fruit to the noodle mixture. If you don't have chow mein noodles, you can substitute with crispy rice cereal for a different texture. Ensure the mixture is well mixed before dropping spoonfuls to achieve a consistent taste.
Serving Suggestions
These chocolate covered noodles make a delightful treat on their own or can be served alongside a scoop of vanilla ice cream for a fun dessert. They pair beautifully with Silk Chocolate Pie for a chocolate lover's feast. For a festive touch, serve them on a platter during gatherings or holidays, encouraging guests to help themselves.
Storage & Reheating
Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week. If you prefer a firmer texture, you can refrigerate them, but be sure to let them come to room temperature before serving for the best flavor. Avoid freezing, as it may affect the texture of the chocolate.
