Ingredients
- 1 cup smooth peanut butter
- 11 oz butterscotch chips
- 4 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 cup roasted peanuts (optional)
Instructions
- Melt the Peanut Butter and Butterscotch Chips: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Microwave the mixture in 20-30 second intervals, stirring between each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
- Mix in the Noodles and Peanuts: Once melted, gently fold in the chow mein noodles and roasted peanuts (if using) until all ingredients are evenly coated with the peanut butter and butterscotch mixture.
- Form the Haystacks: Spoon portions of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, shaping them into small clusters or haystacks.
- Allow to Set: Let the formed haystacks cool and set at room temperature for about 30 minutes to 1 hour until firm.
- Enjoy and Store: Once set, enjoy your haystacks. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
Notes
- You can add roasted peanuts for extra crunch and flavor, but they are optional.
- Microwave melting times may vary; stir frequently to avoid burning.
- For firmer haystacks, you can refrigerate them instead of setting at room temperature.
- Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness.
