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!
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!
