Make these easy no bake butterscotch haystacks with melted butterscotch chips, peanut butter, chow mein noodles and optional peanuts for a crunchy sweet treat perfect for any occasion.
Add butterscotch chips and peanut butter to a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat at 50% power for 1 minute. Continue heating, stirring at 30 second intervals until smooth.
Stir in peanuts if using. Gradually stir in chow mein noodles until fully coated in the butterscotch mixture. Use two forks to drop mounds of the mixture onto the prepared pan.
Chill 30 minutes, or until set.
Notes
Use parchment paper to line the baking pan, and use spray release on utensils, for easy clean-up.
Mix butterscotch chips and peanut butter well between heating to ensure it does not over cook.
Store leftover haystacks in a container or zippered bag at room temperature, in the refrigerator or in the freezer. Freeze for up to 3 months.
