HAYSTACKS

I have made these cookies for my family for about 30 years now. My son (who is now 36 years old) gets so excited when I make these; he always enjoys them with a tall glass of milk. I find that I have to be careful when melting the butterscotch because it seems to scorch easily, so take care - this is an essential ingredient! Also, these are best enjoyed in the winter because they seem to melt and not taste as great in the warmer weather.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients: The better the ingredients, the better the haystack will taste. Look for fresh vegetables, crisp bacon, and a good quality cheese.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: You want the vegetables to be tender but still have a bit of a crunch. Overcooked vegetables will be mushy and unappetizing.
  • Use a good quality cheese: The cheese is one of the key ingredients in a haystack, so don't skimp on it. Use a cheese that melts well and has a good flavor.
  • Assemble the haystacks just before serving: This will prevent the vegetables from getting soggy. If you need to make them ahead of time, store the vegetables and cheese separately and assemble the haystacks just before serving.
  • Serve the haystacks with your favorite dipping sauce: Ranch dressing, blue cheese dressing, or thousand island dressing are all good choices.

Conclusion:

Haystacks are a delicious and easy appetizer that is perfect for any party or gathering. They are also a great way to use up leftover vegetables and cheese. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a delicious snack or appetizer that everyone will love.
