Looking for a simple confection you can whip up in just minutes during the holiday season?
Well – look no further!
You’ve found it!
3 Ingredient Chocolate Haystacks!
This sweet little treat is so versatile. It can be made any number of ways. I’ve had them with coconut, white chocolate, almonds, and peanut butter. The sky’s the limit.
But today – we’re going old-school. Milk chocolate morsels, chow mein noodles, and lightly salted peanuts. BAM.
Begin by readying your cookie sheets with parchment paper. Set aside.
Using a double boiler, melt the chocolate chips then add the crunchy noodles and peanuts.
Mix until thoroughly combined then scoop onto pans using a tablespoon for measure.
We don’t have small kids in the house anymore, but this is one recipe you’ll have fun doing with kids… Once you scoop the mixture, spend a minute identifying pictures that you see in the dollop of chocolate (like you would with cloud formations)… for example, in this next photo, I see a turtle crossing a finish line clearly having won the race (as illustrated by his victory fist pump!)! Ask the kids what they see. They’ll love it!
Fun, right??? Okay – so once you’re done playing… allow the chocolate haystacks to harden in the refrigerator. If there’s no room in the fridge – you can let them firm up on the counter or on a shelf in the garage (providing you live in a chilly climate!).
This is an ideal dessert. It meets all of my requirements for a perfect treat… sweet… salty… crunchy… chocolatey… and no-bake…does it get any better?
It also makes a great gift!
Buon Appetito!
Ciao!
