Instructions
- To start, line two baking sheets with a piece of parchment paper.
- Melt the butter on the stove over low heat.
- Once it’s melted, add in your butterscotch chips and stir them until they’re melted into the butter. Mix it well together so you have one creamy butterscotchy mixture.
- As soon as the chips are all melted in, remove the pot from heat and add in the peanut butter. Mix it until it’s well blended with the butterscotch mixture.
- Pour all of your chow mein noodles into a large bowl. Then add all but about two tablespoons (you want to save that for a bit later) of the butterscotch mixture on top of the chow mein noodles. Stir until all of the chow mein noodles are coated and well mixed together.
- Scoop about 1/4 cup mixture and place it onto the prepared baking sheet. Continue scooping out 1/4 cup of the mixture until you have a bunch of little nests on the baking sheets.
- Add a little bit of the reserved butterscotch mixture to each nest then top with three eggs.
- Refrigerate for 30 minutes or until set then enjoy.
Notes
- Store these butterscotch haystacks in the fridge for up to two weeks in an airtight container to keep the mixture solid. If you know you’ll be storing them for later, I recommend waiting to add on your chocolate eggs since those tend to get hard being in the fridge for that long.
- Store at room temperature in a cool place if you don’t have room in the fridge. They are okay stored outside of the fridge, the butterscotch coating just tends to melt a bit in warm temperatures.
- Double the batch for a crowd by simply doubling all of the ingredients! Just make sure to use a bigger pot and a bigger bowl but otherwise this recipe doubles incredibly well.
- Freeze leftovers for later! Once they’re completely set, freeze individually on the parchment paper lined baking sheet. Once they’re frozen, place them in a freezer safe zipper top bag and put in the freezer for up to three months.
