2 (6 oz.) pkg. chocolate chips
2 (3 oz.) cans LaChoy Chow Mein Noodles
2 (6 oz.) pkg. butterscotch
1/2 c. nut meats

Melt all chips over low heat, stirring constantly. Remove from heat and stir in noodles and nuts so that all are coated evenly. Drop by spoonfuls on wax paper. Place in refrigerator to harden. Yields about 24 clusters.

1 lg. box vanilla wafer, rolled fine (or whirled in blender)
1 box confectioner' s sugar
1 1/2 c. pecans, chopped (or you can substitute coconut)
1 stick (1/2 c.) margarine
Food coloring to color coconut, optional
1 sm. (6 oz.) can orange juice concentrate

1. Cream margarine and sugar. Add orange juice concentrate, thawed; mix. Add the cookie crumbs and half of the chopped pecans to the mixture. Form dough into small balls. 2. Roll balls in the remaining chopped nuts ( 3/4 cupful); you may prefer to use coconut shreds instead. Mixture will be very sticky, but roll in the nuts right away, because cookies will dry fast and the coating will not adhere well otherwise. 3. If desired, you may color coconut red or green.

1 c. chocolate chips
1 c. chopped nuts (walnuts or pecans)
