Ingredients

1 cup butterscotch chips
½ cup creamy peanut butter
2 ½ cups Corn Flakes cereal

Instructions

In a medium saucepan, over medium heat, melt the butterscotch chips and peanut butter.
Place cereal in a large mixing bowl.
Pour the butterscotch mixture over the cereal and gently stir. Be careful not to crush the cereal flakes.
Scoop or spoon 2 tablespoons of the mixture onto the parchment-lined baking sheets forming little mounds of cookies. Alternatively, you can flatten them slightly to make a more "cookie-like" shape.
Continue until all the mixture is used.
Transfer the cookie sheet to a fridge to allow the cookies to chill and set up.
Store in an airtight container for up to 5 days.

Notes

Storage - Keep in airtight container at room temp or chilled for up to a week.
Even sizing - Use a cookie scoop for uniform sized cookies.
Switch cereals - Try Rice Krispies, Chex, popcorn, or Chow Mein noodles for traditional haystacks.
Add extras - Mix in mini marshmallows, shredded coconut, or top with chocolate drizzle and festive sprinkles.
Peanut butter version - Swap butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips for extra peanut-buttery treats.
Easy cleanup - Use a silicone baking mat or parchment paper on your baking sheet.
