Ingredients
- 18 ounces white almond bark
- 5 ounces chow mein noodles (approximately 3 cups, such as La Choy)
- ¾ cup roasted and salted peanuts
- 4 tablespoons colorful nonpareils
Instructions
- Melt the White Almond Bark: Add the white almond bark to a large heat-safe mixing bowl. Heat it in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring thoroughly after each, until the almond bark is completely melted and smooth.
- Prepare the Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set it aside to use for shaping the haystacks.
- Mix in Chow Mein Noodles and Peanuts: Stir the chow mein noodles and peanuts into the melted white almond bark, mixing until they are fully coated with the white chocolate mixture.
- Form the Haystacks: Using a spoon, measure out 2 tablespoons of the mixture and drop each mound onto the prepared baking sheet. Immediately sprinkle about ½ teaspoon of colorful nonpareils over each haystack before they harden.
- Let Them Set: Allow the haystacks to cool completely at room temperature until they harden before serving or storing.
Notes
- Use waxed or parchment paper to prevent sticking while the haystacks set.
- Microwaving in short intervals prevents burning the white almond bark.
- Roasted and salted peanuts add crunch and flavor, but you can substitute with other nuts if desired.
- For a nut-free version, omit peanuts and consider adding extra chow mein noodles or seeds.
- Store the haystacks in an airtight container at room temperature for up to one week.
