Notes

  1. 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.
  2. 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!
