Instructions
Get prepped
- Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper
Cup of Yum
Melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter
- In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips and 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 the chow mein noodles and 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.
