Step 1

Break the chow mein noodles into small pieces.

Step 2

Next, bring water to a boil in a saucepan. Place the peanut butter and butterscotch chips in a glass bowl, then place that bowl over the boiling water in the saucepan. Allow the ingredients to melt, which should take about 3 minutes.

Step 3

Once melted, remove the bowl from the heat, and mix in the broken-down chow mein noodles and the peanuts. Scoop spoonfuls of the batter onto a parchment paper-lined baking sheet. Optionally add sprinkles.

Step 4

Place the baking sheet in the fridge for 10 minutes, allowing the haystacks to harden. Remove the haystacks from the fridge, and serve.
