    I've always loved these. My mother always made both butterscotch and milk chocolate ones and served them together. The milk chocolate ones are my favorite.

    This is the same recipe my husband's family uses. Kids love these, but so do adults! They work best with the thicker noodles, so don't buy the Chun King brand. Thanks for posting Smilynn!

    What my mom does when she makes these, [which might help the melting] is put the chips in a double boiler prior to melting. It keeps them hot and melts them pretty wuickly. Have you tried adding mini marshmallows? They add a really great texture. Some of these are sitting in the fridge right now and it's all I can do not to eat them all up... Jess
