Ingredients
- 1 (6-ounce) bag butterscotch morsels (1 cup)
- 2 cup chow mein noodles
- 1 cup dry-roasted salted peanuts
- 24 can dy pumpkins, such as brach
Preparation
Baking Directions:
Line 2 baking sheets with wax paper or parchment.
Put the butterscotch morsels in a microwave-safe bowl, and melt them in the microwave: Heat on high for 60 seconds and then stir well.
If needed, continue to heat in two or three 10-second bursts, stirring well after each burst.
(You can also melt the pieces, stirring frequently, in a double boiler over just-simmering water.
Avoid overheating, which causes the morsels to seize into a stiff mass.)
Stir the chow mein noodles and peanuts into the melted butterscotch.
Drop heaping tablespoons of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheets.
While the haystacks are still warm, place a pumpkin on the top or pressed against the side of each treat.
Refrigerate until firm, about 20 minutes.
