Ingredients
- 18 ounces white almond bark
- 5 ounces chow mein noodles, or 3 cups (I used La Choy)
- ¾ cup roasted and salted peanuts
- 4 tablespoons colorful nonpareils
Instructions
- Add the white almond bark to a large heat-safe mixing bowl. Heat in the microwave in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until completely melted and smooth.
- Line a baking sheet with waxed paper and set it aside.
- Stir in the chow mein noodles and peanuts. Continue stirring until the chow mein noodles and peanuts are completely coated.
- Measure out 2 tablespoons of the coated haystacks and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Before the haystacks harden, sprinkle ½ teaspoon of the nonpareils over the haystacks. Allow the candy to dry completely and harden before serving.
Notes
- Don’t heat for more than a 30-second interval at a time, and stir well between each heating so that your almond bark doesn’t scorch (if it scorches, it will solidify and clump together, and you’ll have to start over).
- Some of the chow mein noodles tend to be really long. Stir gently because the noodles will break apart. It’s okay if they break a little bit so that they don’t stick out every which way when you spoon them out.
- If the haystack mixture gets too hard to work with, microwave for 15 to 30 seconds and stir.
- Make sure to use parchment paper or wax paper when spooning out the haystacks. They’ll lift easily off of the paper. You can place the paper on a baking sheet for ease, moving the haystacks around while they are setting.
