Description

These Easy No-Bake Peanut Butter Haystacks are a simple and delicious treat perfect for satisfying your sweet cravings. With a blend of creamy peanut butter, butterscotch chips, white chocolate, and crunchy chow mein noodles, these haystacks offer a delightful mix of flavors and textures.


Ingredients

Peanut Butter Haystacks:

  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 1/2 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1/2 cup white chocolate chips
  • 2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
  • 1/2 cup roasted peanuts (optional)
  • 1/4 teaspoon salt


Instructions

  1. Melt the Ingredients: In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the peanut butter, butterscotch chips, and white chocolate chips. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring between each, until fully melted and smooth.
  2. Add Noodles and Peanuts: Stir in the salt, then gently fold in the chow mein noodles and peanuts if using, ensuring everything is evenly coated.
  3. Form Haystacks: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet, creating haystack-style mounds.
  4. Set and Serve: Allow the haystacks to cool at room temperature or refrigerate for 20–30 minutes until set. Store in an airtight container.

Notes

  • You can customize these haystacks by using mini marshmallows, pretzels, or shredded coconut in place of some of the noodles.
  • These treats are ideal for holiday trays or as kid-friendly snacks.
