REC: Chocolate Haystacks

This comes from Gail's archives. You could sub the peanuts with coconut, I suppose...

Chocolate Haystacks
posted by jane in l.a.

Where they ever got this name, who knows...

Ting-A-Lings

6 oz chocolate chips
½ c salted peanuts
3 oz can crispy chow main noodles

Melt chocolate chips then stir in peanuts & noodles. Stir WELL and drop onto waxed paper. Keep in refrigerator.

Even easier than the butterscotch ones!

another possibility that hits me right for this old-fashioned cookie is "Chinese Chews"

 

[CathyZ]

oh good- thanks for posting, Ruth- it saves me the search. They are called that because

you make little haystack mounds and they look sort of like real old-fashioned haystacks used to. I remember a version of this cookie from the early 1950s.

I made RuthAB's version this Halloween and i still have crispy...

I made something very similar to RuthAB's version this Halloween (I used half butterscotch and half choc chips) and i still have crispy leftovers in a ziploc bag in my freezer.
I can't believe how well they freeze.

I have 5 different versions of this cookie but the only one with coconut is the spider one.

The others, if you're interested, are here:

Speaking of Crispy's; for valentines day, we often make the rice crispy treat rec

and then shape them to look like large Hershey kisses and wrap in foil. We even add a white piece of paper (decorated in hearts, etc) to make it even look more "real"

Fun for Valentines Day!!

What a nice and easy idea! (nt)

 

[mistral]

Thanks everyone! Mimi, I think your "Spider" cookie is it! thanks!(nt)
