A sweet Easter treat that is finger lickin’ good and kid-approved!
Butterscotch Haystacks
These Butterscotch and Peanut Butter Bird Nest Cookies remind me of Oatmeal Scotchies! There’s just something about butterscotch that stands the test of time, it’s nostalgic. My Mom is really fabulous, she got it from my Grandma, and she kept the cookie jar stocked when we were kids. The butterscotch combined with the peanut butter, mixed with crunch and topped with chocolate eggs are the perfect combination.
With only 4-ingredients and no baking required, these are quick and easy to make. They are especially fun for kids to make! Some bloggers use a muffin tin to put the nests into. I like that approach because it keeps the nests contained and they harden in nice form. However, I don’t do it that way because I prefer removing them from parchment paper. It’s just a lot easier to manage!
If this no-bake Easter treat excites you, then you’ll like Scotcheroo Bird Nest Bites, Peeps S’mores Graham Cracker Cookies, Easter Oreo Dirt Cake Cups, and Bunny Bait, too!
