Inside
Chocolate Haystacks
Crunchy, chocolatey, and oh-so-easy! Chocolate haystacks are the ultimate no-bake treat. Perfect for those days when you want dessert, but your oven is giving you side-eye. They’re a delightful combination of sweet chocolate and crispy chow mein noodles. Oh, and did we mention there’s just a hint of coconut to make things interesting?
- Cooking Method: No-bake
- Prep Time: 15 minutes
- Chill Time: 1 hour
- Cuisine Type: American
Ingredients
- 2 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 3 cups chow mein noodles
- 1 cup shredded coconut
Cooking Instructions
- Melt the chocolate and butterscotch chips together in a large microwave-safe bowl. Heat in 30-second intervals, stirring after each, until smooth. Avoid creating chocolate lava here – gentle is key!
- Stir in the chow mein noodles and shredded coconut until everything is evenly coated. If you find yourself snacking on uncoated noodles, I won’t judge.
- Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a parchment-lined baking sheet. Try to resist making one massive haystack; portion control, people!
- Let the haystacks chill in the refrigerator for about an hour, or until they are firm. Think of it as a spa day for your chocolatey creations.
Suggestions
- Alternative Ingredients: Swap out the butterscotch chips for peanut butter chips for a nutty twist. Love white chocolate? Use it instead of semisweet.
- Garnishing Options: Add a pinch of sea salt on top before chilling for a sweet-salty vibe. Or, sprinkle with colorful sprinkles for a festive touch.
- Cooking Tips: Use a nonstick silicone spatula to mix the ingredients. This will help you get every last bit of chocolatey goodness out of the bowl.
