This No Bake Peanut Butter Haystacks recipe is unusual and unless you’ve tried something like it before you might not be able to imagine how it tastes. You only need 4 ingredients to make peanut butter haystacks, and those are butterscotch chips, peanut butter, salted peanuts, and… chow mein noodles!
The first thing to strike you about this recipe is probably how unusual it is. After all, how many candy recipes have chow mein noodles as an ingredient! But noodles are just flour and flour features in many desserts, so apart from their crunchy texture they’re not as strange an ingredient as you might initially think. Oh, and they’re quick and easy to make.
INGREDIENTS
11 oz. Butterscotch chips
5 oz. Can of crispy chow mein noodles
