Haystacks Recipe on a white plate

I was feeling very nostalgic this weekend. Spending time with my mother over Thanksgiving did that. We did lots of reminiscing about the traditions we remember growing up. One of my memories was my grandmother always made these chocolate haystacks every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas.

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

Chocolate Haystacks

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.

How to Make Chocolate Haystacks 

Line two baking sheets with parchment paper.

Melt chocolate per the directions on the package. I melt mine in the microwave in 20-second intervals, stirring after every 20 seconds.

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 them 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!!

    Yum! These bring back memories. My mom and I used to make something similar. And also used to make a birds nest version with butterscotch chips and jelly beans (we would make those around Easter time). I’m going to pin this to my recipes folder.

    OH Sherri – I love this dessert! My sister-in-law makes it every Christmas. I never bothered to get the recipe because I knew I would get to have some anyway! LOL Well, I pinned and yummed this so I’ll now have the recipe to make myself. You get five stars for this one, dear lady 🙂
