Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 1 cup Nutella (chocolate-hazelnut spread)
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 pinch salt
- 2 tablespoons optional toppings (e.g., sprinkles, mini chocolate chips)
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a medium saucepan over low heat, melt the butterscotch chips and unsalted butter together, stirring constantly, until smooth and fully combined. This should take about 3 to 4 minutes.
Remove the saucepan from heat and immediately stir in the Nutella, vanilla extract, and a pinch of salt. Mix until the mixture is smooth and glossy.
Place the chow mein noodles in a large mixing bowl. Pour the melted butterscotch-Nutella mixture over the noodles and gently toss until all the noodles are evenly coated.
Using a spoon or cookie scoop, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets to form small haystack-shaped mounds.
If desired, sprinkle optional toppings like sprinkles or mini chocolate chips over the haystacks while they are still wet.
Let the haystacks cool at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator for about 20 to 30 minutes to set completely.
Once set, serve and enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to one week.
