Buddy the Elf Cookies

🧂 Ingredients

• 5 ounce chow mein noodles
• 12 ounce white chocolate
• 1 cup mini marshmallows

  divided
• ¼ cup maple syrup

  less if desired
• ¼ cup chocolate syrup

  or hot fudge sauce
• ¼ cup milk chocolate

  melted
• ½ cup mini red and green M&Ms
• 1 chocolate pop tart

  broken into pieces

Instructions

• 1 Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
• 2 Dump the chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Set aside.
• 3 Melt the white chocolate in a double boiler by filling the bottom pot ½ way with
  water, bring to a boil then reduce heat. Place top pot or heat proof bowl over
  top and toss the white chocolate inside. Melt the chocolate, while stirring it
  consistently, until it's smooth. Remove the pot from the heat.
  
  Remember that white chocolate burns easily, especially if you use white
  chocolate chips. You can add a little oil or shortening to the white chocolate
  if it isn't loosen up enough. Honestly, I prefer the white baking chocolate and
  NOT white chocolate chips.
• 4 Toss half of the mini marshmallows into the white chocolate and mix until mostly
  smooth.
• 5 Pour the mixture over the chow mein noodles and mix until well combined.
• 6 Scoop the cookies out and drop them on the parchment lined cookie sheet so they
  resemble haystack cookies.
• 7 Immediately melt the small amount of milk chocolate in the microwave in a heat
  proof bowl. It should only take about 30 to 60 seconds for that small amount.
• 8 Drizzle with maple syrup, chocolate syrup and melted chocolate.
• 9 Toss M&Ms, remaining marshmallows and pop tart over cookies.
• 10 Let the cookies cool so the chocolate sets up.
• 11 Store for later or serve immediately!
