English Toffee Haystacks Recipe
These treats are perfect for the holidays or any occasion, with a satisfying crunch and a rich chocolate-toffee flavor that’s hard to resist!
Ingredients
- 1 3/4 cups chow mein noodles
- 3/4 cup salted almonds roughly chopped
- 3/4 cup Heath Bits O' Brickle English Toffee Bits
- 16 oz. chocolate candy coating
Instructions
- Melt the Chocolate
- Melt the chocolate candy coating over medium heat on the stovetop or in the microwave, stirring frequently until smooth and fully melted.
- Combine Ingredients
- In a large mixing bowl, add the chow mein noodles, chopped almonds, and English toffee bits, reserving a small amount of toffee bits for topping. Pour the melted chocolate over the mixture and stir until everything is evenly coated.
- Form the Haystacks
- Using a spoon, drop portions of the mixture onto a sheet of wax paper, shaping each spoonful into a haystack. Sprinkle each haystack with the reserved toffee bits and/or additional chopped almonds for extra crunch and flavor.
- Cool and Serve
- Allow the haystacks to cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens. Once set, enjoy immediately or store in an airtight container at room temperature.
Notes
- Use Fresh Ingredients: Fresh, crunchy chow mein noodles and nuts provide the best flavor and texture.
- Avoid Over-Stirring: Stir just enough to coat the ingredients to prevent the noodles from breaking down too much.
- Setting: Let the haystacks cool at room temperature rather than refrigerating to avoid condensation and keep them crisp.
