Oooh, haven’t seen these for a long time! My grandma used to make these.
Cheers.

Holy smokes !! These look amazing. I have some chow mein noodles in the cupboard that we used for salad and I was trying to think how else to use these noodles… this IS IT !! Yum

I like how easy these are, and I really enjoy the sweetness that Pecans add so I am sure that this would be a fantastic treat! I wonder how they would turn out with semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate chips? I think I will try 🙂
