Ingredients

• 1.5 cups semisweet chocolate chips
• 0.5 cups milk chocolate chips
• 1 cup slivered almonds
• 2 cups crispy chow mein noodles
• 0.25 teaspoons sea salt (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or a silicone baking mat and set it aside.

Step 2

In a microwave-safe bowl, combine the semisweet chocolate chips and milk chocolate chips.

Step 3

Microwave the chocolate in 30-second intervals, stirring after each interval, until the chocolate is completely melted and smooth. This should take about 1.5 to 2 minutes total.

Step 4

Once the chocolate is melted, fold in the slivered almonds and crispy chow mein noodles. Mix gently to ensure all the ingredients are evenly coated with chocolate.

Step 5

Using a spoon, drop small mounds of the chocolate mixture onto the prepared baking sheet, leaving some space between each mound.

Step 6

Optionally, sprinkle a tiny pinch of sea salt on each mound for a sweet and salty flavor balance.

Step 7

Refrigerate the baking sheet for about 30 minutes, or until the haystacks are firm and set.

Step 8

Once set, remove the haystacks from the baking sheet and store them in an airtight container at room temperature for up to 1 week, or in the refrigerator for longer storage.
