Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups sweetened shredded coconut
- 1 cup semisweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup butterscotch chips
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
- 0.25 teaspoons salt
Instructions
Line a large baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
In a microwave-safe bowl or a double boiler, combine the semisweet chocolate chips, butterscotch chips, and unsalted butter.
Heat the mixture in 30-second intervals if using a microwave, stirring well after each interval, or stir continuously if using the double boiler. Continue until the mixture is completely melted and smooth.
Stir in the vanilla extract and salt until fully incorporated.
Add the sweetened shredded coconut to the melted mixture and stir well to combine, ensuring the coconut is evenly coated in the chocolate mixture.
Using a tablespoon or small cookie scoop, drop small mounds of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, spacing them apart slightly.
Allow the haystacks to cool and set completely at room temperature, or place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 20-25 minutes to speed up the process.
Once set, serve and enjoy! Store any leftovers in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to a week.
