Step 3: Add Vanilla Extract
Once the chocolate is melted, stir in ½ teaspoon of vanilla extract. This enhances the flavor and adds a subtle, aromatic sweetness.
Step 4: Combine with Crunchy Ingredients
Gently fold in the chow mein noodles (or cereal) and chopped nuts, making sure every piece is lightly coated in white chocolate. Be gentle to avoid breaking the noodles.
Step 5: Form the Haystacks
Using a spoon, scoop small portions of the mixture and drop them onto the prepared baking sheet. Shape them into small mounds or clusters. Don’t worry about making them perfect—haystacks are meant to look rustic and fun!
Step 6: Add Optional Toppings
If you like, sprinkle the top of each haystack with sprinkles, shredded coconut, or extra chopped nuts for a festive touch.
Step 7: Chill and Set
Place the baking sheet in the refrigerator for about 30–45 minutes, or until the chocolate is firm and the haystacks hold their shape.
Step 8: Serve and Enjoy
Once set, your White Chocolate Haystacks are ready to enjoy. Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to a week.
Tips for Perfect Haystacks
