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.

HOPSCOTCH

My grandmother's recipe says "Chinese noodles." These are the dry noodles that come in a can. I think one brand in her day was Chung King. They might be called chow mien noodles but you want the dry ones that come in a can. This is fast, easy, no baking, and very rich.
