Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Butterscotch chips
- 2 cups Chow mein noodles
- 0.5 cups Salted peanuts
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Directions
Step 1
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
Step 3
Microwave the chips in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until completely melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
Step 4
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Step 5
Add the chow mein noodles and salted peanuts to the melted chocolate mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until the noodles and peanuts are evenly coated in chocolate.
Step 6
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small mounds that resemble haystacks.
Step 7
Allow the haystacks to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Step 8
Once firm, gently transfer the haystacks to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Step 9
Serve and enjoy these delightful chocolate treats!
