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.

I love haystacks and wanted to make a fun Tex-Mex version for my family. Adding panko crumbs and cheese to the hash browns before cooking gives them a wonderful golden brown color and crisp texture. -Donna-Marie Ryan, Topsfield, Massachusetts

Kashi cereal which is good for you, and butterscotch chips-not so good for you. Helps ease the guilt of this great snack. I used Kashi Vive, because it taste like grahams, but you could use another Kashi cereal, of course.
