Ingredients
  

  • 1 package (11 oz) butterscotch chips
  • 0.5 cup peanut butter creamy
  • 1 can (5 oz) chow mein noodles

Equipment

  • 1 baking sheet

Method
 

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. Put the butterscotch chips and creamy peanut butter in a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave at 50% power in 30-second bursts, stirring after each, until smooth, about 1 1/2 to 2 minutes total.
  3. Gently fold in the chow mein noodles until evenly coated.
  4. Drop the mixture by heaping tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet.
  5. Refrigerate for 20 to 30 minutes, until the haystacks are firm.

Notes

For evenly sized clusters, use a heaping tablespoon for each haystack. Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 1 week; they can be frozen for up to 2 months. For a peanut-free swap, use sunflower seed butter.
