Ingredients
1(11 ounce) packagebutterscotch morsels
3/4cupcreamy peanut butter
2(5 ounce) cans or about 6 1/2-7 cupschow mein noodles
Line baking trays with parchment paper or aluminum foil.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt butterscotch morsels (1 package), on medium-high power (70%) for 60 seconds; stir. If necessary, microwave at additional 10 to 15-second intervals, stirring just until morsels are melted. Mix in peanut butter (3/4 cup) until evenly combined.
Fold in chow mein noodles (2 cans), peanuts (1/2 cup), and marshmallows (2 cups) until everything is evenly coated.
Drop heaping tablespoonfuls onto prepared baking trays. Refrigerate to set.
Notes
Peanut Butter: Another fun change-up is the peanut butter! I love using smooth to give these haystacks a luscious quality but feel free to use chunky for an extra crunch.
Noodles: Yes, this butterscotch haystacks recipe uses noodles! But not what you're thinking -- these chow mein noodles are crispy, crunchy little chip-like goodies that also go great on salads!
