Another holiday favorite that my grannie and mom have made ever since I can remember. You can adjust this and use small pretzel sticks w/milk chocolate and almonds; or other combos you can think of. The butterscotch seems to melt in your mouth...

Blue Ribbon Recipe

This vintage recipe for butterscotch haystacks will bring you back to childhood. These no-bake cookies don't have the classic peanut butter to hold them together as most recipes, but they're equally delicious. Chow mein noodles and peanuts have a satisfying crunch and they're folded with melted butterscotch chips. These will satisfy any salty and sweet craving.
