Ingredients
- 12 ounces white melting chocolate (340 grams) or almond bark
- 2 cups chow mein noodles (90 grams)
- 1 cup peanuts (142 grams)
- 2 tablespoons sprinkles (24 grams, for topping)
Instructions
- Prepare the crockpot: Spray the inside of the crockpot with nonstick spray to prevent the mixture from sticking and make cleanup easier.
- Add ingredients: Place the white melting chocolate, chow mein noodles, and peanuts into the crockpot, ensuring even distribution of all components.
- Cook the mixture: Set the crockpot on HIGH and cook for 1 hour, stirring occasionally if possible, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth.
- Mix thoroughly: Stir the contents well so that the noodles and peanuts are fully coated with the melted white chocolate.
- Form haystacks: Using a spoon, drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto a baking sheet lined with parchment paper, shaping them into small clusters.
- Add sprinkles: Immediately sprinkle the top of each haystack with the 2 tablespoons of sprinkles before the chocolate hardens to add color and texture.
- Chill and serve: Place the tray in the refrigerator to allow the haystacks to fully set and harden, then enjoy!
Notes
- Using white melting chocolate or almond bark ensures smooth melting and easier mixing.
- Chow mein noodles add a crispy texture but can be substituted with crispy rice cereal if unavailable.
- Peanuts can be replaced with other nuts or seeds based on preference or allergies.
- Be sure to add sprinkles before the chocolate sets for best adherence.
- Store haystacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to one week.
