Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 cup Semi-sweet chocolate chips
- 1 cup Milk chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup White chocolate chips
- 0.5 cup Peanut butter
- 0.5 cup Butterscotch chips
- 3 cups Chow mein noodles
- 0.5 cup Shredded coconut (unsweetened)
- 0.5 cup Crushed pretzels
- 0.25 teaspoon Sea salt (optional)
Instructions
Line two baking sheets with parchment paper or silicone baking mats and set aside.
In a large heatproof bowl, combine the semi-sweet chocolate chips, milk chocolate chips, peanut butter, and butterscotch chips.
Melt the mixture gently by microwaving in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until smooth and fully combined. Alternatively, melt the mixture over a double boiler on the stove.
Once melted, fold in chow mein noodles, shredded coconut, and crushed pretzels. Stir gently to evenly coat all the dry ingredients with the melted chocolate mixture.
Using two spoons, drop haystack-shaped mounds onto the prepared baking sheets.
If desired, sprinkle a small pinch of sea salt on top of each haystack for a salted chocolate flavor.
Chill the baking sheets in the refrigerator for 1 hour, or until the haystacks are firm and set.
Serve immediately or store in an airtight container in a cool place for up to one week.
