Growing up, we always had butterscotch haystacks throughout the fall. They ’ five hundred first gear appear at my Grandmother ’ second when we ’ d show up at her house as our first stop on our trick-or-treating trek Halloween and then Mama would make them through Thanksgiving before we switched to chocolate desserts and treats for Christmas .The other afternoon, Little Buddy and I were in the kitchen making treats to take on a weekend trip and I equitable knew that haystacks would be the arrant no broil dessert to make together. And then I remembered he isn ’ t a huge fan of butterscotch so we promptly switched out chocolate chips for the butterscotch chips to make these oh so delicious chocolate haystacks .
I think from here on out, I ’ thousand halving the recipe when I make butterscotch haystacks to make half butterscotch and half cocoa. That means, my husband and I have the butterscotch haystacks of our childhood and my son has our new chocolate haystack version.
