Butterscotch Haystacks

Tips For Success

Want to know my secrets? Regular peanut butter works better than natural – less oil separation means better texture. Keep your butterscotch mixture warm while you work, or it’ll get too thick to mix. And here’s my favorite trick: line everything up before you start melting. These set up fast, so you want to be ready to go!

Keeping Them Fresh

Store these little beauties in an airtight container in the fridge – they’ll stay crunchy for a week. Want to plan ahead? Make a double batch and freeze them! They last six months in the freezer, though they never make it that long at my house. Just let them come to room temperature before serving.

Party Perfect

Need something for the bake sale or holiday party? These are your answer! Package them in little boxes lined with parchment paper for gifts – they travel really well. I always bring them to potlucks and everyone begs for the recipe. They’re perfect for those “oops, I need to bring something” moments!

Mix It Up

Sometimes I switch things up by adding different nuts – cashews are amazing in these. A handful of mini marshmallows makes them extra fun for kids. During the holidays, I use white chocolate instead of butterscotch and add some crushed candy canes on top. The possibilities are endless!

Sweet Memories

My mom used to make these when I was little, and now my kids help me make them. There’s something special about recipes that get passed down through generations, especially ones this simple and delicious. Give them a try – I bet they’ll become a favorite in your family too!
