craving something sweet & easy?

this recipe is easy & only requires a microwave!


these cookies are called haystacks. they are crunchy & sweet & easy!

ingredients:

one bag of butterscotch morsels, milk chocolate morsels, or dark chocolate morsels
one cup of peanut butter
any cereal of your choice! (origionally these are made with chinese noodles... if you can find them in your local grocery store, try them out! it really makes them look like stacks of hay! )


place butterscotch and peanut butter in a microwave safe bowl. microwave in increments of 30 second, stirring together each time, until the butterscotch and the peanut butter have melted. its very important not to microwave longer than 30 seconds at a time, so that the butterscotch does not burn. do remember that microwaves, unlike ovens, heat from the inside, out. so stirring is very very important.

when the butterscotch and peanut butter mixture is melted, combine the cereal. i personally like frosted flakes, as they stay really crunchy. stir the cereal in until every piece is lightly coated. roll out wax paper or tin foil on your counter top, and spoon out mounds of cereal. let cool.

remove the 'cookies' from the wax paper, and enjoy! great with a very cold glass of milk :)



*feel free to personalize these cookies any way you wish! they are great with baby marshmellows, peanuts, pecans or almonds, coconut flake... anything you wish to add! add these secondary ingredients when you add the cereal.
