Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
- 0.5 cups milk chocolate chips
- 1 cup slivered almonds
- 2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
- 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.
Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.
Once the chocolate is melted, fold in the slivered almonds and crispy chow mein noodles. Mix gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with chocolate.
Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each mound.
Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on each mound for a sweet and salty flavor balance.
Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until the haystacks are firm and set.
Once set, remove the haystacks from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
