My grandmother, Betty, used to make me these no-bake cookies every Christmas. They’re the perfect combination of salty and sweet and they couldn’t be easier to make. They require no baking time–the hardest part is waiting for them to set so you can dig in!

How to Make It

1. Step
Line a large baking dish with parchment or wax paper.
2. Step
Add the butterscotch chips, peanut butter, and coconut oil to a large microwave-safe bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 60 seconds, or until the chips are melted, stirring halfway through. Whisk until completely smooth.
3. Step
Add the chow mein noodles, peanuts, and pretzel sticks. Stir until evenly coated.
4. Step
Use 2 spoons to drop rounded tablespoons of the mixture on the prepared baking sheet. Place in the refrigerator and allow to harden for at least 1 hour.
5. Step
Make the chocolate coating, if using: Add the dark chocolate chips and coconut oil to a medium bowl. Microwave on 50% power for 30–45 seconds, or until the chips are melted, stirring halfway through. Whisk until completely smooth.
6. Step
Dip the bottom of each haystack in the melted chocolate, letting any excess drip off. Return to the baking sheet, then refrigerate for at least 30 minutes more, until the chocolate hardens.
7. Step
Enjoy!
