Ingredients

  • 4 cups Chow mein noodles
  • 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup Butterscotch chips
  • 0.5 cup Creamy peanut butter

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper and set aside.

Step 2

In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter.

Step 3

Microwave the mixture on high in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the mixture is smooth and fully melted (approximately 1-2 minutes total).

Step 4

Add the chow mein noodles to the melted mixture and gently stir until the noodles are fully coated.

Step 5

Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the coated noodle mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form small mounds or 'haystacks.'

Step 6

Let the haystacks cool at room temperature until they are firm, about 1 hour. Alternatively, you can refrigerate them for 20-30 minutes to speed up the process.

Step 7

Once set, remove the haystacks from the baking sheet and serve. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator.
