Peanut Butter Shoestring Haystacks

Instructions:

  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
  2. In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the peanut butter and butterscotch chips in 30-second intervals, stirring until smooth and fully combined.
  3. Gently fold in the shoestring potatoes and peanuts until evenly coated.
  4. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, forming clusters.
  5. Let cool at room temperature or refrigerate for about 15 minutes until set.
  6. Enjoy the sweet-and-salty crunch.

Variations

  • Add mini marshmallows for a soft, chewy contrast.
  • Drizzle melted dark or white chocolate on top for extra decadence.
  • Mix in chopped pretzels for added crunch and saltiness.
  • Use chocolate chips instead of butterscotch for a Reese’s-style twist.

Tips

  • Work quickly once the mixture is melted—haystacks set fast.
  • If the mixture becomes too firm, reheat for a few seconds to loosen it.
  • Store in an airtight container at room temperature for soft clusters or refrigerate for firmer ones.
  • Make smaller or larger haystacks depending on how you plan to serve them—they’re easy to shape to any size.
