# What You'll Need:

→ Base Layer

01 - 2 cups chow mein noodles (crispy, dry)
02 - 1 cup butterscotch chips
03 - 1/2 cup creamy peanut butter

→ Middle Layer

04 - 2 cups pretzel sticks, broken into thirds

06 - 1/2 cup mini marshmallows

→ Top Layer

07 - 1 cup white chocolate chips
08 - 1/2 cup toasted shredded coconut
09 - 1/2 cup chopped roasted peanuts

# How to Make It:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper to prevent sticking.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, heat butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Gently fold chow mein noodles into the melted mixture to coat evenly. Drop heaping spoonfuls onto the prepared sheet and let rest for 5 minutes.
04 - Melt semisweet chocolate chips in a separate bowl until smooth. Stir in broken pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows. Spoon smaller mounds atop each base portion and allow to set for 5 minutes.
05 - Melt white chocolate chips in a clean container. Combine with toasted coconut and chopped roasted peanuts, then dollop a small amount on each stack.
06 - Allow candy towers to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm. Present stacked on a serving platter.
