My mother always made these for Christmas when I was a child to bring to my aunt's annual party on Christmas Eve. Her's had CASHEWS in addition to the butterscotch and noodles and she called them "Chinese Chews", which I am sure she didn't make up herself. I think I have heard them called "Haystacks" also.

This recipe was pretty good. My only complaint was that the cookies fell apart while you were eating them making a lot of crumbs. Beyond being messy, they were great. A little sweet for my taste, but I should have known that going in.

I haven't tried this yet, but you could use crunchy peanut butter instead of creamy. easy way to add nuts !

I LOVE these things. I didn't think I was much of a butterscotch fan but I guess I am because I couldn't stop eating these! I only use 1c butterscotch chips and about 8oz noodles (or as many as can be lightly coated) otherwise I think they'd be way too sweet. I add about 1 tsp shortening to the chips & melt them in the microwave on low. They are good with cashews or peanuts but they are wonderful plain too. If you make them small & more flat than round, they are easier to eat. Super fast & easy to make!

We love these. But I do use twice the amount of noodles, ADD 1/2 cup of semi sweet chips and chopped cashews (because we don't all like peanuts).

I melted the butterscotch chips in the microwave on 70% power, stirring frequently instead of on the stovetop. Made these as a birthday treat for my butterscotch-loving grandson...he was a happy camper. Thansk for the recipe Shayna Rice!

Great recipe! I, too, followed others' suggestions and put in 1/4 cup of chocolate chips and 1 3/4 cup of butterscotch chips. Thanks for this recipe! Easy to make and easy clean up!
