Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 3 cups Shredded sweetened coconut
- 1.5 cups Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 1 pinch Pinch of salt
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set aside.
In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips and unsalted butter.
Microwave the chocolate and butter mixture on high in 20-30 second intervals, stirring each time, until smooth and fully melted (this should take about 1-2 minutes).
Once melted, add the vanilla extract and a pinch of salt to the chocolate mixture and stir well to combine.
Add the shredded sweetened coconut to the chocolate mixture and stir until all the coconut is thoroughly coated.
Using a small cookie scoop or spoon, drop heaping tablespoons of the coconut-chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into small mounds or haystacks.
Refrigerate the haystacks for at least 30 minutes or until they are fully set and firm.
Once set, remove the haystacks from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature or in the refrigerator for up to one week.
Serve and enjoy your delicious Coconut Haystacks II!
