It's That Time of Year Again

Every year around this time I get a hankerin for haystacks, those tasty little butterscotch treats that your mom probably used to make. Every year I make them, eat too many, and then end up not wanting another haystack for a l-o-n-g time, precisely, for another year. I made a batch last night. At first Grace and Johnny were dubious (as in, "We don't want to eat hay"), but they ended up liking them just as much as I do. In case you want to try yourself:

BUTTERSCOTCH HAYSTACK CANDY

2 (6 oz.) pkg. butterscotch morsels
1 (6 1/2 oz.) can peanuts
1 (5 oz.) can chow mein noodles

Melt morsels over medium heat. Stir in peanuts and noodles. Spoon onto wax paper. Shape into haystacks.

YUM!
