Without the peanuts though because I don’t like them.
I made a couple of changes, dark chocolate chips and chunky peanut butter, and Fiber One cereal. Delicious! And i used mini muffin papers and filled them! Clean!
Love love love these. Stores ran out of chow mien noodles so I used the thin pretzel sticks. Worked well!
So good! So easy to make!! They are always a big hit when I take them to parties, folks asking for more!
I loved making Haystacks.A good first try snack. Tasty and fun to make with Family.
I cut the peanuts and add cashews .. my grandmother made them that way and we love them ❤️
I brought these to a Christmas party and they were gone in 60 seconds.
Add mini marshmallows, and when putting on the wax paper arrange each stack more flat with a few of the noodles splayed out to look like bagpipes and you’ve got the recipe for Nancy Drew’s Whistling Bagpipe Crunchies from the Nancy Drew cookbook. Ah, good memories from attempting those crazy old recipes. A tip if you ever find that book, never ever try the peanut butter soup. It was horrible, and I tried to make it twice thinking I messed it up, nope just a terrible recipe.
I’ve been making these for years and everyone loves them!
My next door neighbor made these when I was growing up. She told me the ingredients but I didn’t remember the proportions. Thanks for this great recipe so that I could recreate a memory from my youth!!
They ended up sticky.
My family has made these for Christmas for decades! Our recipe includes multi-colored mini-marshmallows (mix in quickly so they don’t melt). Stack these up high to look like a decorated Christmas Tree. The marshmallows are a delicious and colorful addition.
Quick, easy, and delicious. Thanks!
I have made these several times..always a hit! I have substituted the peanut butter with semi sweet chocolate chips and cashews for the peanuts. For making nests for Easter I have subbed the chow mein noodles with corn flakes.
These are tasty and quick! I remember them being called ‘Hopscotch’ back in the 60’s. I make a switched up version of these using peanut butter, vanilla bark, dry roast salted peanuts, crispy rice cereal and miniature marshmallows. They’re a huge hit as well.
This was a fantastic recipe. They turned out great. I didn’t have a double boiler so I used my dutch oven on the lowest setting on the stove top. I continually stirred. I don’t think they took very long to set up. Once I placed on wax paper, I just left on countertop maybe an hour or so. I want to try adding chocolate next time.
GREAT SWITCHED OUT THE PEANUT BUTTER FOR CASHEW BUTTER AND ADDED A HANDFUL OF COCONUT FLAKES.
No one from my family would eat these, so I guess that speaks volumes : (
I omitted peanuts and added marshmallows to half(for the kids) set up perfect!
I added 1 1/2 cups mini marshmallows and melted them with peanut butter and chips I also use chunky peanut butter instead of creamy and skip the peanuts. Delicious !
Great, easy recipe and I will definitely make it again! I did add a few more peanuts to my recipe.
