Delight in these irresistible Haystacks featuring a luscious blend of chocolate, butterscotch, peanut butter, crunchy chow mein noodles, and salted peanuts. Perfect as a sweet, crunchy snack that’s quick to prepare and sure to satisfy your cravings.

Ingredients

Scale

Chips and Spreads

  • 1 cup chocolate chips
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter

Mix-ins

  • 4 cups chow mein noodles
  • 1 cup salted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Prepare the baking tray: Line a baking tray with wax paper to prevent the haystacks from sticking and to make removing them easier once set.
  2. Melt butterscotch chips and peanut butter: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and well combined.
  3. Melt chocolate chips: In a separate microwave-safe bowl, melt the chocolate chips using the same 30-second interval method, stirring after each session until fully melted and smooth.
  4. Combine with chow mein noodles and peanuts: Add the crunchy chow mein noodles and salted peanuts to the melted butterscotch and peanut butter mixture. Stir carefully until all noodles and peanuts are evenly coated.
  5. Form the haystacks: Drop spoonfuls of this mixture onto the prepared wax paper. Then drizzle the melted chocolate over the top of each haystack for an extra layer of flavor and decoration.
  6. Set the haystacks: Allow the haystacks to cool undisturbed at room temperature until firm. This can take anywhere from 30 minutes to 1 hour, depending on room temperature.
  7. Serve and enjoy: Once set, enjoy these sweet, crunchy treats as a snack or dessert.

Notes

  • Use creamy peanut butter for a smoother texture and better coating.
  • Microwave melting requires attention to avoid burning; stir well between intervals.
  • For a nut-free version, omit peanuts and consider substituting with seeds.
  • Store haystacks in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crunchiness.
  • You can drizzle additional chocolate or butterscotch on top for extra sweetness or decoration.
