Haystacks
This recipe for haystacks comes from my mom, Sharon. Haystacks are a no-bake cereal treat made with peanut butter and butterscotch chips. They are crunchy, sweet, and super satisfying any time of year. Try them today!
Ingredients
- 1 11-ounce package butterscotch chips
- 1 cup peanut butter creamy or crunchy
- 2 cups crisp rice cereal
- 3 cups corn flakes cereal
Instructions
- Line a sheet tray with waxed paper or parchment paper. In a microwave safe bowl, add the peanut butter and butterscotch chips. Heat in the microwave for 20-second increments until melted, stirring well after every 20 seconds.
- Once melted, add both types of cereal and stir until the cereal is well coated. Use a cookie scoop to create “haystack” mounds on the lined tray. Place in the refrigerator until the coating has hardened.
- Store any leftovers in the refrigerator—though there might not be any!
Notes
You can also melt the peanut butter and butterscotch chips using a double-boiler on the stove, if you prefer. I personally find the microwave easiest!
