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