Butterscotch Haystacks
Description
This recipe melts semisweet chocolate and butterscotch chips together gently in the microwave to create a smooth, sweet base. Crispy Chow Mein noodles are folded in to add a distinctive crunch and wafer-like texture. Dropping the mixture by spoonfuls onto parchment paper and refrigerating allows the clusters to solidify into easy-to-handle pieces.
The combination of butterscotch and chocolate provides a mellow sweetness layered with the toasted notes of the noodles. No baking is required, making it a convenient dessert or snack to prepare quickly. The haystacks maintain their crispness through refrigeration.
