Ingredients
1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
1 cup butterscotch chips
1 cup creamy peanut butter
2 cups chow mein noodles
1 cup salted peanuts
Instructions
1. In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until melted and smooth.
2. Stir in the creamy peanut butter until fully incorporated and silky.
3. Fold in the chow mein noodles and salted peanuts, gently mixing to coat everything without breaking the noodles.
4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet.
5. Let the haystacks set at room temperature or refrigerate for about 30 minutes until firm.
Notes
Haystacks are easy to customize—try adding mini marshmallows or coconut flakes for extra texture.
Use parchment paper or silicone mats to prevent sticking.
Store in an airtight container in a cool place or the fridge for best texture.
