HAYSTACKS

Haystacks image

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.

Yield 30

Number Of Ingredients 4

Ingredients

2 cups butterscotch chips (12 ounces), melted
2 tablespoons peanut butter, plain or crunchy
6 ounces Chinese or chow mein noodles
6 ounces cocktail peanuts

Steps:

Melt the butterscotch chips in a double boiler over simmering water.
In a medium bowl, combine the melted butterscotch and peanut butter. Add noodles and peanuts and mix well. Drop the batter by the heaped tablespoon onto waxed paper and refrigerate until cool and set, about 20 minutes.

Tips:

Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. Make sure your butter is at room temperature before using it so that it blends well with the other ingredients.

Be careful not to overcook the haystacks. They should be golden brown and crispy on the outside, but still soft and chewy on the inside.

For a fun and festive twist, try using different colored sprinkles or decorations on top of the haystacks.

These treats can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 3 days. You can also freeze them for up to 2 months.
