Take note potluck party animals. Here's another easy snack to bring to your next gathering. Peanut haystacks are a tasty alternative with a crunch factor. The unusual combination of Asian chow mein noodles, cereal, marshmallows, and peanut butter makes for a sweet and fun snack. Try it out as an after-school treat for the kids.
What you will need:
1 bag butterscotch chips
1/2 cup of chunky peanut butter
1 cup Cheerios (we use Banana Nut variety)
2-3 cups of mini marshmallows
1 5-oz can of chow mein noodles
large bowl
wax paper or aluminum foil
1/2 cup of chunky peanut butter
1 cup Cheerios (we use Banana Nut variety)
2-3 cups of mini marshmallows
1 5-oz can of chow mein noodles
large bowl
wax paper or aluminum foil
Cooking and Preperation:
Pour butterscotch chips into bowl. Place bowl in microwave for 45 seconds to 1 minute until soft and melted. Blend in peanut butter. Add chow mein noodles and oat bran cereal. You may want to break longer and larger pieces to make them easier to mix and scoop. Finally, add marshmallows and mix well until everything is coated. Layout a large sheet wax paper (or aluminum foil that is sprayed lightly with canola oil) onto a flat baking sheet and scoop individual tablespoonfuls onto sheet. They don't have to look perfect. Place sheet into refrigerator and let chill at least 4-6 hours before serving. When the haystacks have solidified, they may be placed in a plastic container with lid for storing in refrigerator a day or two ahead of a party.
