Ingredients
- 1 cup butterscotch chips about half a bag – 5.5oz
- 1/2 cup peanut butter 4 oz
- 2 cups chow mein noodles 4 oz
- 1/2 cup salted peanuts 2 oz
Instructions
Get prepped
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper
Melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the 1 cup butterscotch chips and1/2 cup peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals on 50% power, stirring after each, until the chips are fully melted and smooth. It’s important to do this at 50% power so the chips don’t burn.
- You can also set a bowl over boiling water (do not let the bowl touch the water) on the stove, or use a double boiler to melt the butterscotch chips
Mix in the chow mein noodles and peanuts
- Gently fold in 2 cups chow mein noodles and 1/2 cup salted peanuts until they are evenly coated with the chocolate mixture.
Form the haystacks
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, forming small mounds or "haystacks."
Let them set
- Place them in the refrigerator to set. Once set, they are ready to enjoy!
Notes
Don’t overcook the butterscotch chips! Use 30 second increments at 50% power, stirring well between each.
Spray your measuring cup with oil before measuring peanut butter for easier release.
