    Even after I added more peanut butter and peanut butter chips, I couldn't get it to stick together.

    We love these snacks. Sometimes, I vary this up and use Reese's peanut butter chips or either dark or semi sweet chips in place of the butterscotch chips. It's all a matter of what you like or have on hand. The kids LOVE to make these. NOTE: I rarely keep wax paper on hand, I - Read more ...

    This was my first time making Haystacks and they turned out great!!! I didn't have a double boiler so I melted my butterscotch chips & peanut butter in the microwave. I've made this recipe twice in the last 2 weeks. Second time I doubled it. Wonderful!

    Love this recipe! My mom has been making these for Christmas for as long as I can remember. However I have never had them with peanuts before...she always mixes in M&M's instead. SO GOOD!

    I have been making these for 13 years. They are my husband's favorite dessert. SO easy and wonderful!! At Easter, I make them deeper around the edges, with a depression in the middle and put 3 small jellybeans in the center. They look like small birds nests. Really cute!!

    Unbelievably simple and delicious. After tasting at a cookie swap I immediately looked up the recipe. I followed others' advice and flattened mine a little to make easier to bite. Had to chill mine to get them to totally harden but I doubled the recipe and may have gone heavy on the peanut butter. Will - Read more ...

    The best haystacks recipe! Be careful about the amount of peanut butter--it will still taste great but may get sticky.
