Chocolate Haystacks Recipe

Enjoy the chocolatey crunchiness of these easy no-bake Chocolate Haystacks treats. Made with 2 simple ingredients!

Haystacks

I was feeling very nostalgic this weekend. Spending time with my mother over Thanksgiving did that. We did lots of reminiscing about traditions we remember growing up. Oh how I love hearing stories.

One of my memories was my grandmother always made these chocolate haystacks every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

I haven’t made them in years and years and years but I promised my daughter I would introduce her to the wonderfulness of these simple little treats.

You can use whatever chocolate chips you like best. Milk chocolate, semi-sweet, or dark.  I made mine with semi-sweet since we love darker chocolates.  You can also add your favorite toasted nut like almonds, pecans, cashews.  Top with sea salt if you prefer. It’s all delicious!

They are another super dessert to add to your holiday sweets list! Especially if you need something really, really fast

Chocolate Haystack Ingredients

24 ounces chocolate chips or bars (milk chocolate, semi-sweet or dark)

2 cups chow mein noodles

Optional: 1 cup your choice of toasted nuts (almonds, peanuts, cashews, or pecans)

How to Make Haystacks 

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Melt chocolate per the directions on the package.

Add chow mein noodles and nuts too (if desired) to the melted chocolate and carefully combine until they are coating well.

Scoop about a tablespoon of the mixture and drop it onto the parchment paper.

Allow to cool. I place mine in the refrigerator for about 20 minutes. (the freezer would work too for about 10 minutes)

Sprinkle with sea salt, if desired.

Store in an airtight container.

ENJOY!!
