Haystacks - this crunchy, munchy dessert is unbelievably quick and easy to make, with only 4 ingredients. How could anything this easy be so delicious? It's kid-friendly, so get the family involved. Enjoy!
I first heard of Haystacks when my oldest son Jeff was in third grade. His class made this delicious dessert at school, and he kept talking about it. I just had to have the recipe!
When I asked and his teacher sent me the recipe, she wrote to use a heaping tablespoon of peanut butter. I measured, and my heaping tablespoonful is 1/3 cup, so I added that to my directions.
The whole family loved them, and this recipe has been a family favorite ever since.
Ingredients:
1/3 cup creamy peanut butter
6 oz. butterscotch chips (1 cup)
1 cup peanuts (I use dry roasted, lightly salted.)
5 oz. can of Chow Mein Noodles (or half of a 12 oz. package, about 2-1/2 cups)
Directions:
Melt the peanut butter and butterscotch chips over very low heat, stirring constantly.
Remove from heat, and stir until smooth.
I have always enjoyed Haystacks, but I have not made them in a long time. Thanks for reminding me and sharing your recipe, Nancy.
