CHRISTMAS SPICED HAYSTACKS

They taste great from the freezer, and are great to pull out when company comes...or when you need a little snack. The ground cloves makes them taste like Christmas. Don't forget they need that time in the freezer to really set properly, and they don't need any defrosting time.

HAYSTACKS

I have made these cookies for my family for about 30 years now. My son (who is now 36 years old) gets so excited when I make these; he always enjoys them with a tall glass of milk. I find that I have to be careful when melting the butterscotch because it seems to scorch easily, so take care - this is an essential ingredient! Also, these are best enjoyed in the winter because they seem to melt and not taste as great in the warmer weather.
