Haystack Variations
Thee original "No Bake NESTLÉ® TOLL HOUSE® Haystack Cookies" is an easy cookie recipe made with creamy peanut butter, butterscotch chips, crunchy chow mien noodles, and salty peanuts.
:: Classic Vintage Haystacks ::
Ingredients1 cup butterscotch chips (recommend: Nestle Toll House brand)
½ cup peanut butter
½ cup salted peanuts
2 cups chow mein noodles (La Choy brand recommended)
1. In a large bowl, microwave the butterscotch chips and peanut butter on 50% power for 3 to 5 minutes or until the chips have melted, stirring after each one minute increment.
2. Remove from the microwave and stir in the peanuts and chow mein noodles.
3. Drop by teaspoonfuls onto waxed or parchment paper. Let sit until completely cooled and firm. It may take several hours for the candy to become firm.
* Notes
- It’s important to use 50% power on the microwave or you’ll wind up with butterscotch chips that have seized or burned. Stir the mixture every minute. - Alternately, you can melt the chips and peanut butter in the top of a double boiler.
Storage: Best stored at room temperature. Refrigerating the haystacks tends to make them too firm. Place the finished candy in an airtight container and keep for 5 to 7 days (they would be fine for longer but the noodles tend to become stale after a while).
- Freezing: Not recommended.
