How to Make Nutella Butterscotch Haystacks

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine 12 ounces of butterscotch chips and 6 ounces of semi-sweet chocolate chips.
Microwave on high for 1 minute.
Stir the chips and continue microwaving on high in 50-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
Remove the bowl from the microwave and stir in 1/2 cup of Nutella until well combined.
Add 3 cups of chow mein noodles and 1/2 cup of chopped nuts (such as peanuts, pecans, or walnuts – your choice!) to the melted chocolate mixture. Stir gently until the noodles and nuts are evenly coated.
Line a baking sheet with wax paper or parchment paper.
Drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each haystack.
Refrigerate for at least 30 minutes, or until the haystacks are firm.
Once firm, transfer the haystacks to an airtight container and store in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Enjoy! Yield will vary depending on the size of your haystacks.
