Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups Butterscotch chips
- 2 cups Chow mein noodles
- 0.5 cups Salted peanuts
- 1 teaspoons Vanilla extract
Instructions
Line two large baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and butterscotch chips.
Microwave the chips in 30-second increments, stirring well after each interval, until completely melted and smooth (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
Once melted, stir in the vanilla extract until fully incorporated.
Add the chow mein noodles and salted peanuts to the melted chocolate mixture. Using a spatula, gently fold the ingredients together until the noodles and peanuts are evenly coated in chocolate.
Using a tablespoon or a small cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small mounds that resemble haystacks.
Allow the haystacks to set at room temperature for 1-2 hours, or place them in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes to speed up the process.
Once firm, gently transfer the haystacks to an airtight container for storage. They can be kept at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve and enjoy these delightful chocolate treats!
