Truly Healthy Haystack Cookies Food

THE BEST NO-BAKE HAYSTACK COOKIES

Steps:

• Line two baking sheets with parchment or wax paper.
• Melt the butterscotch and chocolate chips in the microwave or in a double boiler (If you don't have a double boiler you can make one by nestling a metal or heatproof glass bowl over a pot with a bit of water in the bottom - bring the water to a boil, and stir the chips frequently until they melt). If using the microwave, heat for 30 seconds, then stop and give the chips a stir, and stop and stir every 15 seconds until they are melted. Stir in the peanut butter until well combined.
• Combine the noodles and the cocktail peanuts in a large bowl. Pour the butterscotch-peanut butter mixture over and stir to combine.
• Drop the mixture by tablespoons onto the prepared baking sheet. Allow to set; in warmer months or when the kitchen is warm, this is best done in the fridge. Do let them sit at room temperature for several minutes before serving.

• When the chocolate has melted completely, pour over the noodle and nut mixture. Mix until everything is well coated in the melted chocolate.
