Time 15m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 c butterscotch chips
3 c chow mein noodles/broken up a little
1 c salted peanuts
1 c peanut butter

Steps:

  • 1. Melt the butterscotch chips according to package directions. Add peanut butter/ ( I used the double boiler method) A double boiler consists of a bowl placed on top of a pan of simmering water. The bowl does not touch the water, but creates a seal with the bottom pan to trap the steam produced by the simmering water, the temperature at which water turns to steam and a far lower temperature than could be achieved by putting the bowl directly on that burner. Inside the top bowl, you can melt chocolate without worrying that it will stick and burn.
  • 2. In a Large mixing bowl, have the chow mein noodles, peanuts mixed up and ready to go, once the butterscotch/peanut butter is melted, poor on top of the mixture and stir QUICKLY then drop onto wax paper and let cool.
  • 3. Allow to cool for about an hour, or until the cookie holds it's shape and the butterscotch is dry to the touch. Enjoy!

Categories     Other Desserts

Time 25m

Number Of Ingredients 4

1 pkg butterscotch chips
1/2 c peanut butter
1 pkg mini marshmellows
1 pkg chow mein noodles

Steps:

  • 1. Begin by melting the butterscotch chips. You can do this on the stove top or you can melt them in the microwave. If you do melt them in the microwave , make sure to set the timer for 2 minute increments, so that they don't get burned.
  • 2. Once the chips have fully melted then you stir in the 1/2 cup of peanut butter. Now stir in the marshmellows, and chow mein noodles.
  • 3. Now that everything is combined, use a teaspoon to measure out your candy. Set the candy on wax paper and let them set up over night. And that's it!

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh butter, eggs, and vanilla extract will give your haystacks the best flavor.
  • Don't overcook the butterscotch: It should be thick and bubbly, but not too dark.
  • Work quickly: The butterscotch will start to set quickly, so you need to work quickly to form the haystacks.
  • Use a variety of toppings: Chopped nuts, chocolate chips, and coconut are all great options.
  • Let the haystacks cool completely: This will help them to set and hold their shape.

Conclusion:

Butterscotch haystacks are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They're made with just a few simple ingredients and can be customized to your liking. With their sweet and buttery flavor, these haystacks are sure to be a hit with everyone who tries them.
