Get Stacked this Holiday Season

Haystacked, that is. If you’re looking for another yummy, chocolately treat to make for the holidays, consider the haystack. These quick, easy and popular cookies are affectionately known among our friends and family as “blobs.” It wouldn’t be Christmas without them.

Here’s what you’ll need:

300g (1 bag) of butterscotch chips

300g (1bag) of high quality semi-sweet chocolate chips (or the equivalent amount of dark chocolate bars, chopped up into small pieces)

2 1/2 cups of crunchy chow mein noodles, broken roughly in half.

2 1/2 cups of salted peanuts

Line two or three cookie sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.

Melt butterscotch chips and chocolate chips together in a double boiler over low heat (or in a microwave-safe bowl and microwave on a low setting). When the chips are nearly completely melted, remove from the heat and stir until smooth.

Add noodles and peanuts and stir until they are completely coated with the chocolate mixture.

Spoon the mixture onto the prepared cookie sheets, using a heaping tablespoon to create each haystack.

Refrigerate until firm and then store in an airtight container, in the refrigerator.

They keep for about three weeks, if you don’t eat them all first!
