Ingredients
Equipment
- microwave-safe bowl
- baking sheet
- wax paper
Directions
- Prepare a baking sheet by covering it with wax paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, heat the butterscotch chips in 30-second bursts, stirring each time until completely melted and smooth.
- Add the chow mein noodles and salted peanuts to the melted chips, mixing thoroughly so everything is coated.
- Using a spoon, place dollops of the mixture onto the wax paper-lined sheet.
- Right away, gently press a few candy corn pieces and some orange and black sprinkles into the top of each mound.
- Allow the haystacks to set until they are firm, which takes roughly 30 minutes.
