I do sometimes get the munchies at midnight...
My grandmother used to make these cookies/candy (I think they need their own classification somehow) and she called them "Hopscotch Cookies." I've changed the name for the fall holidays and call them Haystack Cookies. I don't frankly care what they are called because they are so addicting. I wouldn't stop eating them even if Dracula was barreling down on my neck faster than Marie Osmond to a dance floor.
HAYSTACK COOKIES
So Easy You Can Make Them With Only One Hand
1 6oz package butterscotch morsels
1/2 cup peanut butter
2 cups miniature marshmallows
3 oz chow mein noodles
Melt butterscotch morsels and peanut butter over very low heat. Mix marshmallows and noodles together and stir into butterscotch mixture. Drop by tablespoons on wax paper and chill until set.
I love this clever cocktail garnish that "Thing" tossed in my martini. I found this idea somewhere on the internet and I'm sorry to say that I don't remember where and can't give due credit.
Use a vegetable peeler or very small paring knife to carve a hollow in a radish on the end opposite the root end. Then, scratch and peel small strips of the red skin away from end to end. Place a pimento stuffed olive into the hollow, with the pimento facing out. Plop into your guest's martinti for a ghastly good effect.
Once upon a midnight dreary, while I pondered , weak and weary,
Over many a quaint and curious volume of forgotten lore--
While I nodded, nearly napping, suddenly there came a tapping,
As of some one gently rapping, rapping at my chamber door.
"Tis some visitor," I muttered, "tapping at my chamber door--
Only this and nothing more."
From "The Raven" by Edgar Allan Poe

I always knew them as haystacks, too. But inquiring minds want to know... what on earth are you doing with that other hand?!?
Did you know that a search for "radish olive eyeball" on Google gives 12500 results? I think I first saw the idea on Slashfood...

OMG! that eyeball thing is so cool, and corny. I so have expected you to blog about it. Kudos!
