Ingredients
- 1 ¾ cups butterscotch chips
- 3/4 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 1 cup salted roasted peanuts
- 5 ounce container La Choy Chow Mein Noodles
Instructions
- Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper, a silicone baking mat, or wax paper.
- Fill a saucepan about ⅓ full with water and place a heat proof bowl or pan on top (this works as a homemade double boiler, if you have a double boiler, use that instead).
- In the top bowl or pan, mix together the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips and creamy peanut butter.
- Heat over medium heat until the water in the bottom pan is simmering and the top ingredients start to melt.
- Stir well, reduce heat to medium low and continue stirring until the mixture melts into an even mixture, about 5-7 minutes.
- Gently fold in the peanuts and chow mein until fully coated.
- Remove the pans from the heat.
- Using large spoons, scoop out a mound of the mixture and transfer it to the prepared baking sheet or countertop.
- Repeat until you’ve formed mounded haystacks out of all the mixture, working quickly so that it doesn’t harden in the pan.
- Let it set up at room temperature for 2-3 hours or until completely hardened and then enjoy! If you live in a hot or humid area, you may need to chill the cookies.

Notes
- Semisweet chocolate chips: For sweeter cookies, use milk chocolate chips. For less sweet cookies, use bittersweet chocolate chips.
- Peanut butter: It’s important to use regular, not natural, creamy peanut butter.
- Peanuts: You can use unsalted, lightly salted, or salted roasted peanuts.
