Ingredients
- 11 ounces Butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Creamy peanut butter
- 4 cups Chow mein noodles
- 0.5 cup Salted peanuts (optional, for extra crunch)
Directions
Step 1
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper and set aside.
Step 2
In a medium microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Step 3
Microwave the mixture in 30-second intervals, stirring well after each interval, until the chips are melted and the mixture is smooth (about 1-2 minutes total).
Step 4
Once melted, stir in the chow mein noodles to coat them evenly with the butterscotch-peanut butter mixture.
Step 5
If using salted peanuts, gently fold them into the mixture.
Step 6
Using a spoon or small scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form small haystack shapes.
Step 7
Let the haystacks cool at room temperature for about 1 hour, or place them in the refrigerator for faster setting.
Step 8
Once set, store in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week. Enjoy!
