Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c butterscotch chips
3 c chow mein noodles/broken up a little
1 c salted peanuts
1 c peanut butter

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the butterscotch chips according to package directions. Add peanut butter/ ( I used the double boiler method) A double boiler consists of a bowl placed on top of a pan of simmering water. The bowl does not touch the water, but creates a seal with the bottom pan to trap the steam produced by the simmering water, the temperature at which water turns to steam and a far lower temperature than could be achieved by putting the bowl directly on that burner. Inside the top bowl, you can melt chocolate without worrying that it will stick and burn.
  • 2. In a Large mixing bowl, have the chow mein noodles, peanuts mixed up and ready to go, once the butterscotch/peanut butter is melted, poor on top of the mixture and stir QUICKLY then drop onto wax paper and let cool.
  • 3. Allow to cool for about an hour, or until the cookie holds it's shape and the butterscotch is dry to the touch. Enjoy!

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg butterscotch chips
1/2 c peanut butter
1 pkg mini marshmellows
1 pkg chow mein noodles

Steps:

  • 1. Begin by melting the butterscotch chips. You can do this on the stove top or you can melt them in the microwave. If you do melt them in the microwave , make sure to set the timer for 2 minute increments, so that they don't get burned.
  • 2. Once the chips have fully melted then you stir in the 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Now stir in the marshmellows, and chow mein noodles.
  • 3. Now that everything is combined, use a teaspoon to measure out your candy. Set the candy on wax paper and let them set up over night. And that's it!

Tips:

  • For the perfect butterscotch flavor, use a combination of brown sugar, butter, and vanilla extract.
  • To make the haystacks easier to form, chill the butterscotch mixture for at least 30 minutes before shaping.
  • If you don't have chow mein noodles, you can use rice krispies or corn flakes instead.
  • Be careful not to overcook the butterscotch mixture, as it can easily burn.
  • Store the haystacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days.
