Make these addictive, crunchy Haystack Cookies fast! This no-bake recipe combines chow mein noodles with melted butterscotch and chocolate for a sweet, salty treat perfect for holidays or quick desserts.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup butterscotch chips
  • 1 cup semi-sweet chocolate chips
  • 1 cup creamy peanut butter
  • 5 cups chow mein noodles (crispy, not soft)

Instructions

  1. Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. In a large, microwave-safe bowl, combine the butterscotch chips, chocolate chips, and peanut butter.
  3. Microwave on medium power for 60 seconds. Stir well. Continue microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until the mixture is completely smooth and melted. This usually takes 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
  4. Pour the chow mein noodles into the melted mixture. Gently fold the noodles into the chocolate and butterscotch until they are fully coated. Work quickly before the mixture sets.
  5. Drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets, forming small mounds or ‘haystacks’.
  6. Let the cookies set completely at room temperature for about 30 minutes, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes to speed up the process.
  7. Store the finished cookies in an airtight container.

Notes

  • For a variation, you can substitute half of the chow mein noodles with shredded coconut or quick oats.
  • If you are planning your weekly meals, these require no oven time, making them great when you want to avoid heating up the kitchen.
  • If you are looking for structured eating guidance, remember that while these are simple treats, they do not fit into strict programs like a keto meal plan delivery.
