Chocolate Mixture
- In a double boiler, add the chocolate and butterscotch chips. Heat on a simmer. Once chips begin to melt, mix regularly with a spatula until they are smooth and combined.
Crunchy Mixture
- In a large bowl, mix together peanuts and full can of noodles. Set aside.
Haystacks
- Once chocolate and butterscotch mixture has fully melted and combined, pour over the top of the crunchy mixture of peanuts and noodles and quickly mix to fully combine all of the ingredients.
- Use two small spoons to scoop roughly 3 Tbsp of the mixture onto the parchment lined baking sheets in a single layer, yielding a total of 24 haystacks. Two baking sheets may be needed.
- Place the baking sheets flat in the refrigerator and allow haystacks to cool for at least one hour before packaging or serving.
