Ingredients
  

Main ingredients
  • 12 oz White chocolate chips or almond bark Use whichever you have on hand
  • 5 oz Chow mein noodles Crunchy canned type
  • 1 cup Salted peanuts or cashews Optional for added nutty flavor
  • 1 cup Mini pretzel sticks Optional, adds saltiness
For cleanup
  • 1 sheet Parchment paper or wax paper For easy cleanup

Method
 

Melting the Chocolate
  1. Melt the white chocolate chips or almond bark in the microwave in short bursts, stirring in between to avoid burning.
Mixing Ingredients
  1. Once the chocolate is smooth, mix in the chow mein noodles and nuts (if using) until well coated.
Forming Haystacks
  1. Using two spoons, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared parchment or wax paper.
  2. Don't worry about making them uniform; a little misshapen adds charm.
Setting the Haystacks
  1. Chill in the fridge until set. In warmer months, chilling is recommended; in colder months, they will set at room temperature.

Notes

You can customize these haystacks by adding colored sprinkles or M&Ms for a festive touch. They can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature or in the fridge for up to a week. For a nut-free option, replace nuts with more pretzels or seeds.
