Butterscotch-flavored “haystacks” make a whimsical base for candy pumpkins. You can set a pumpkin in the middle of each haystack, as if it’s sitting in a nest, or you can put the haystack just behind the pumpkin, as if it’s nestled up against the foot of a haystack.
Makes about 2 dozen
1 6-ounce bag butterscotch morsels
2 cups chow mein noodles
1 cup roasted, salted peanuts
1 6-ounce bag candy pumpkins
1. Line a baking sheet with waxed paper. Melt the butterscotch morsels on top of a double boiler or in the microwave, for 60 seconds, whisking well with a fork after heating. If you need more melting time, do it in 10-second bursts, stirring after each. Be careful not to overheat.
2. Stir the peanuts and chow mein noodles into the melted butterscotch. Dollop out by heaping tablespoons on the waxed paper and place a pumpkin on top of each haystack or press it against the side.
