How to Make Peanut Butter Haystacks

  1. Melt 12 ounces of butterscotch chips and 1/2 cup of creamy peanut butter in a double boiler or microwave-safe bowl. If using a microwave, heat in 30-second intervals, stirring until completely smooth.
  2. Stir until the peanut butter and butterscotch chips are completely combined and smooth.
  3. Gently stir in 1 cup of salted peanuts and 1 cup of chow mein noodles until evenly distributed throughout the mixture.
  4. Using a fork, drop rounded spoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheet.
  5. Allow the haystacks to cool and set completely at room temperature (about 30 minutes).
