Being a visual person, this article shows you exactly what do 300 calorie meals look. It lists some great meals that make dieting seem a little less stressful. It even has a couple of meals with carbs (mashed potatoes, rice).
These delicious little delights are a cinch to make in only a few minutes. When I am baking something in the oven, it’s hard to make dessert unless it requires the same oven temp. I like making these since you only use the stove (or even the microwave), and don’t disturb the rest of the food in the oven. Great little dessert to serve a large group too, just make sure you let people know there’s peanuts in it.
Prep: >5 minutes
Cool: 15 minutes
Makes: 15-17 cookies
Ingredients
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1/2 cup peanuts
- 2 cups chow mein noddles
Steps
- Cover a cookie sheet with waxed paper.
- Melt butterscotch chips in a double boiler, saucepan or in the microwave. Stir until smooth (makes sure not to burn). Remove from heat and stir in nuts and noodles until coated.
- Drop by spoonfuls of the mixture onto the waxed paper to make a tiny haystack. Let stand for ten minutes.
Change it up! You can substitute the butterscotch chips for chocolate chips. Also, you can use pecans or walnuts instead of peanuts (or use 3/4 cup peanut butter). You can even add a cup of marshmallows for a lighter taste.
