Calories: 169kcal
Ingredients
- 1 cup semisweet or milk chocolate chips
- 11 ounce bag butterscotch chips
- 1/4 cup creamy peanut butter
- 12 ounces chow mein noodles (or crushed cornflakes)
- Festive Sprinkles optional
Instructions
- Line a large sheet pan or countertop with wax or parchment paper.
- In a microwave-safe bowl, combine chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and peanut butter. Microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring in between, until the mixture is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1-2 minutes.
- Once melted, remove the bowl from the microwave. Stir in the chow mein noodles until all the noodles are evenly coated with the mixture.
- Using a large cookie scoop or 2 spoons, drop 1/4-cup spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared sheet pan or countertop. If adding sprinkles, add immediately so that they adhere to the coating. Rest 4 hours or until firm. Place in an airtight container until ready to serve.

Notes
Storage:
Store the cooled and set cookies in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 5 days.
We don't recommend freezing the cookies as it compromises the texture and can cause the chocolate to become wet and broken.
Tips:
- Microwave in 30-second intervals. This is essential, be sure to stop and stir in between the intervals until melted thoroughly and totally smooth.
- Do not over heat the chips. This will cause the chocolate and butterscotch to seize and not melt smoothly.
- Add the sprinkles quickly. Work fast when sprinkling them over the top of the haystack cookies. They cool and set quickly!
- Swap the chow mein noodles for cornflakes. You can also use cornflakes for the crunchy case rather than chow main noodles if preferred.
