Another thing Brad has requested me to make was haystack cookies (candy?) as his mom used to always make them for him. I had been given many different variations of this recipe over the years (and could eat them until I made myself sick) but had never made them before. Turns out they are beyond simple, so Brad and I whipped up a quick batch before heading out to dinner with a friend Friday night.
Haystacks
1 package butterscotch chips
3/4 cup peanut butter
2 small packages of chow mein noodles
- Heat peanut butter in deep pot at medium heat. Then stir in butterscotch chips, reducing heat to low.
- Remove pot from burner, adding in noodles a little at a time while stirring the mixture.
- Once all ingredients are coated, spoon out onto wax paper and allow one hour for them to set.
Notes of Interest:
--- A lot of people like peanuts and / or marshmellows added to these. Personally I would have loved some marshmellows but Brad said they were best plain.
--- Whatever you do, keep stirring this mix. If you don't it will burn and be funky. I was actually think doing a double-broiler would have been better than just straight heating this, but I figured I would follow the recipe.
