Description

White Chocolate Haystacks are a delicious and easy no-bake treat combining the creamy sweetness of melted white almond bark with the crispy crunch of chow mein noodles and roasted peanuts, all topped with colorful nonpareils for a festive touch. Perfect for quick holiday treats or anytime you want a simple, crunchy, sweet snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 18 ounces white almond bark
  • 5 ounces chow mein noodles (about 3 cups; La Choy recommended)
  • ¾ cup roasted and salted peanuts

Toppings

  • 4 tablespoons colorful nonpareils

Instructions

  1. Melt 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 after each interval, until the almond bark is completely melted and smooth.
  2. Prepare Baking Sheet: Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set it aside to use for shaping and cooling the haystacks.
  3. Mix Ingredients: Stir the chow mein noodles and roasted salted peanuts into the melted almond bark, mixing thoroughly until all the pieces are fully coated with the white chocolate.
  4. Shape Haystacks: Using a tablespoon measure, scoop out approximately 2 tablespoons of the coated mixture and drop it onto the prepared baking sheet. Repeat until all the mixture is used.
  5. Add Toppings and Set: Quickly sprinkle about ½ teaspoon of colorful nonpareils over each haystack before the coating hardens. Allow the haystacks to cool completely and harden at room temperature before serving.

Notes

  • To speed up the setting process, you can place the tray in the refrigerator for 15-20 minutes.
  • Store white chocolate haystacks in an airtight container at room temperature to maintain crispness, or refrigerate if your environment is warm.
  • You can substitute peanuts with other nuts or mix-ins of your choice for variation.
  • Use waxed paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking when cooling the haystacks.
