Butterscotch Haystacks

These is one of those “recipes” that my mom taught as as kids, and from what I can gather from friends and family, so did just about every other 1970s era mom. Our kids usually make a double batch. I know some people who substitute chocolate and some who substitute peanut butter, but butterscotch continues to be my favorite.
Ingredients
  • 1 bag of butterscotch morsels
  • 1 bag of fried chowmein noodles
Instructions
  1. Microwave morsels in a medium size microwave-safe bowl for 30 seconds and stir. Repeat at 15 second intervals until melted and smooth.
  2. Gradually fold in chowmein noodles in batches, making sure the noodles are evenly coated by butterscotch.
  3. Using two spoons, shape together haystacks and drop on wax paper to dry. Our son actually opted to use his (clean and washed) hands to mold the haystacks this year.
