Description

These Easy No-Bake Peanut Butter Haystacks bring together the perfect blend of smooth peanut butter, sweet butterscotch, and crunchy chow mein noodles. Each bite is a satisfying combination of creamy, salty, and sweet flavors, with optional roasted peanuts adding an extra layer of crunch. These haystacks are incredibly simple to make and are a delightful treat for any occasion.


Ingredients

Scale

  • 1 cup smooth peanut butter
  • 11 oz butterscotch chips
  • 4 cups chow mein noodles
  • 1 cup roasted peanuts (optional)

Instructions

  1. Melt the Base: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the smooth peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted.
  2. Combine Ingredients: Gently fold in the chow mein noodles and roasted peanuts (if using), stirring until they’re evenly coated in the peanut butter mixture.
  3. Form Haystacks: Use a spoon to scoop the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, creating small haystacks. Allow them to cool at room temperature or in the refrigerator until they’ve set and hardened.

Notes

  • Customize: For a sweeter twist, add a handful of mini marshmallows or chocolate chips to the mixture before forming the haystacks.
  • Quick Set: Place the haystacks in the fridge to speed up the setting process.
