Doo-Doo Drops
Doo-Doo Drops are sweet, crunchy confections combining chocolate, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips with chow mein noodles, peanuts, and marshmallows for a delightful treat suitable for all ages.
Ingredients
Instructions
- Melt the semi-sweet chocolate chips, peanut butter chips, and butterscotch chips in a large pot over medium heat, stirring continuously until smooth.
- Remove from heat; stir in peanuts and chow mein noodles until coated.
- Add mini marshmallows and stir until coated.
- Spoon drops onto wax paper, about 3 inches in diameter.
- Refrigerate until solid.
Tips & Substitutions
To ensure even melting, use a double boiler or microwave in short bursts, stirring frequently. If you prefer a crunchier texture, consider adding crushed pretzels or using crispy rice cereal instead of chow mein noodles. For a different flavor profile, try using dark chocolate chips or swapping in white chocolate for a sweeter treat. These drops can also be made gluten-free by checking the ingredients of the chips and noodles.
Serving Suggestions
Serve Doo-Doo Drops as a fun dessert or snack at parties and gatherings. They pair beautifully with a glass of cold milk or a warm cup of hot chocolate. For a delightful treat, consider serving alongside Creamy Persimmon Fudge or Mint Brownie Bites for an indulgent dessert spread that everyone will love.
Storage & Reheating
Store leftover Doo-Doo Drops in an airtight container in the refrigerator to keep them fresh. They can last for up to two weeks. If you prefer to enjoy them at room temperature, let them sit out for about 10-15 minutes before serving. Avoid freezing, as this may alter their texture.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use different types of chocolate chips?
Absolutely! Feel free to substitute with your favorite types of chocolate chips, such as dark or white chocolate. Each will bring a unique flavor to the drops. Just ensure that the total amount remains the same for the best texture.
How can I make these vegan-friendly?
To make vegan Doo-Doo Drops, use dairy-free chocolate chips and ensure that the peanut butter chips are also dairy-free. Additionally, check if the chow mein noodles are vegan, as some brands may contain eggs.
What can I replace peanuts with if there are allergies?
If someone has a peanut allergy, you can replace peanuts with sunflower seeds or pumpkin seeds for a similar crunch. Alternatively, use a mix of dried fruits like raisins or cranberries for added sweetness and texture.
