Butterscotch Haystacks

Oh wow, butterscotch haystacks—pure nostalgia 😍 Super easy, no-bake, and dangerously snackable.

Butterscotch Haystacks

Ingredients

• 1 (11 oz) bag butterscotch chips
• 1 (12 oz) bag chow mein noodles
• Optional add-ins:
  • ½ cup chopped peanuts or cashews
  • ½ cup shredded coconut
  • ¼ cup mini marshmallows (if you’re feeling chaotic in a good way)

Instructions

1. Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
2. Melt butterscotch chips gently
   • Microwave in 30-second bursts, stirring each time or
   • Use a double boiler on low heat.
3. Once smooth, fold in chow mein noodles (and any add-ins) until well coated.
4. Drop spoonfuls onto the lined sheet, forming little “haystacks.”
5. Let set at room temp or chill 20–30 minutes until firm.

Tips

• If the mixture feels thick, add 1 tsp neutral oil or butter to loosen it.
• Work quickly—once it starts setting, it sets fast.
• Store in an airtight container up to a week (if they last that long).
