No-Bake Peanut Butter Haystacks
These no-bake peanut butter haystacks are a nostalgic holiday treat that I’ve been making since I was a teenager. It’s a simple, no-fail recipe that’s been a staple in my family for years.
Ingredients (Serves 8-10):
– 11 oz. butterscotch chips
– 5 oz. can crispy chow mein noodles
– 1 cup creamy peanut butter
– 1/2 cup salted peanuts
How to Make No-Bake Peanut Butter Haystacks:
1. **Melt the Peanut Butter and Butterscotch Chips:** In a saucepan over medium-low heat, add the peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Stir constantly until the mixture is fully melted and smooth.
2. **Combine with Noodles and Peanuts:** Place the chow mein noodles and salted peanuts in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted peanut butter and butterscotch mixture over the top.
3. **Mix and Shape:** Stir until the noodles and peanuts are well coated. Quickly drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper.
4. **Cool and Harden:** Let the haystacks cool and harden at room temperature before serving.
These no-bake treats are perfect for the holidays or whenever you’re craving a sweet and crunchy snack!
