A crunchy, layered sweet tower blending butterscotch, pretzels, chocolate, marshmallows, and toasted coconut.

# What You'll Need:

→ Base Layer

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

→ Middle Layer

04 - 2 cups pretzel sticks, broken into thirds
05 - 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
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

# Step-by-Step Guide:

01 - Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
02 - In a microwave-safe bowl, melt butterscotch chips with peanut butter in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth.
03 - Gently fold chow mein noodles into the butterscotch mixture to coat evenly. Drop heaping spoonfuls onto the lined baking sheet to form the base layer and let set for 5 minutes.
04 - Melt semisweet chocolate chips in a separate microwave-safe bowl, stirring smooth. Add pretzel sticks and mini marshmallows, mixing gently. Spoon smaller mounds atop each base to create the middle layer and allow to set for 5 minutes.
05 - Melt white chocolate chips in a clean bowl. Stir in toasted shredded coconut and chopped peanuts. Spoon a small dollop onto each tower to complete the topping.
06 - Allow the assembled towers to set at room temperature or refrigerate for 15 minutes until firm. Serve stacked on a platter for an eye-catching presentation.
