- 1 tablespoon butter
- 3 cups chow mein noodles (about half a 7 oz package)
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract (optional)

Instructions
- Begin by melting: In a medium saucepan, melt the chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butter together over low heat, stirring occasionally until smooth.
- Stir in vanilla: Remove from heat and stir in the vanilla extract (if using).
- Add noodles: Gently mix in the chow mein noodles, making sure they are well coated without breaking them too much.
- Shape the cookies: Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment or wax paper. Space them about 1 inch apart.
- Chill: Refrigerate the haystacks for at least 30 minutes or until set.
Notes
- For added flavor: Try drizzling extra melted chocolate or butterscotch over the haystacks.
- Storage: Store leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to a week.
