Merry Christmas Eve Eve

The weather around here isn't as frightful as it appears to be in other parts of the country.  We have had over an inch of rain, but no major flooding or frozen stuff.  Hope everyone else is safe and warm too.

While we try to eat healthy, whole organic foods as much as we can...we do have an occasional treat.  Today I'm making Haystacks.  Ever had them?  Butterscotch bliss is what they should be called!  Simple simple simple.  Not sure where the recipe originated, but I recall my grandmother making them every year.

It's not precise...but here's the basic idea if you'd like to give them a go:
  • 1 bag of melted butterscotch  morsals, stir in:
    • 1/2 large bag of chow mein noodles (the crunchy kind)
    • 1/2 can low salt roasted peanuts.
  • Drop by spoonfuls on parchment paper and let harden.
  • Enjoy!
