Even though I love to bake, I usually pick up my bite-sized sweets from the bakery for my parties. I do like to make at least one of the desserts I serve, so today, in preparation for my Halloween cocktail party on Sunday, I made Butterscotch Haystack candy. My mom used to make them when I was a kid every autumn, without fail.
They are so rich and delicious and so quick and easy to make. They are crunchy, salty and sweet.....Yum! All you need is:
2 (12oz.) bags of butterscotch morsels
1 (6oz.) bag of chow mein noodles
2 cups dry roasted peanuts
Melt the bags of butterscotch morsels in the microwave in a large glass bowl for 1 and 1/2 minutes. Stir the melted morsels with a spatula. Add the chow mein noodles and peanuts. Mix well. With a soup spoon, scoop out the "haystacks" onto a cookie sheet lined with waxed paper. Allow to cool for 30 minutes and store in an airtight container with waxed paper between the layers of candy. This recipe makes about 36-48 depending on the size.
Try these sweets at your next party and take the credit for your "homemade"desserts!
