Ingredients
- 3 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons optional toppings (e.g., sprinkles, mini chocolate chips)
Directions
Step 1
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and unsalted butter together, stirring constantly, until smooth and fully combined. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Step 3
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the Nutella, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Step 4
Place the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted butterscotch-Nutella mixture over the noodles and gently toss until all the noodles are evenly coated.
Step 5
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets to form small haystack-shaped mounds.
Step 6
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like sprinkles or mini chocolate chips over the haystacks while they are still wet.
Step 7
Let the haystacks cool at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 20 to 30 minutes to set completely.
Step 8
Once set, serve and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
