These simple cookies are, for me, like a portal to<br \/>\nanother time and place. By scent alone they relocate me in Sheboygan, Wisc.,<br \/>\nfill my head with strong impressions of that happy, recurrent scene that played<br \/>\nout year after year throughout the late 70&#8217;s and early 80&#8217;s.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Tingalings<\/p>\n<p>First, the family recipe:<br \/>\n\t1 &#8211; 8 oz. bag of butterscotch chips<br \/>\n\t1 &#8211; 6 oz. bag of semisweet chocolate chips<br \/>\n\t1 &#8211; 4 oz. can of chow mein noodles<br \/>\n\t1 &#8211; cup salted Spanish peanuts<\/p>\n<p>When I made them the other day, however, I used the following combination<br \/>\n\tfor a double-batch:<br \/>\n\t2 &#8211; 8 oz. bags of butterscotch chips<br \/>\n\t1 &#8211; 8 oz. bag of milk chocolate chips<br \/>\n\t2 &#8211; 6 oz. bags of chow mein noodles<br \/>\n\t2 &#8211; cups dry roasted peanuts<\/p>\n<p>\tCombine the crunchy noodles and the peanuts in a medium bowl. In a<br \/>\n\tglass dish, melt the chips into a liquid. I did this using a medium<br \/>\n\tsetting in the microwave. Pour the melted chocolate and butterscotch<br \/>\n\tover the dry ingredients in the bowl. Stir it together until<br \/>\n\teverything is covered.
