HAYSTACKS

I have made these cookies for my family for about 30 years now. My son (who is now 36 years old) gets so excited when I make these; he always enjoys them with a tall glass of milk. I find that I have to be careful when melting the butterscotch because it seems to scorch easily, so take care - this is an essential ingredient! Also, these are best enjoyed in the winter because they seem to melt and not taste as great in the warmer weather.

Categories     Candies

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 3

1 - 12ounce bag milk chocolate chips
1 cup coconut flakes
2 ounces slivered almonds

Steps:

  • 1. In double boiler melt chocolate chips... when completely melted remove from heat and gently stir in coconut flakes and almonds. Drop tablespoon size haystack onto cookie sheet lined with waxed paper or parchement paper ... cool in refrigerator for approx. 1 hour.
  • 2. Keep cool until ready to serve.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Ingredients: Ensure all the ingredients are measured and prepped before starting. Chop the almonds and coconut flakes to the desired size, and melt the chocolate and butter smoothly.
  • Use Fresh Coconut Flakes: Fresh coconut flakes provide a better taste and texture to your haystacks. If using store-bought, check for freshness and avoid stale flakes.
  • Choose High-Quality Chocolate: The type of chocolate you use will greatly impact the taste of your haystacks. Opt for high-quality chocolate with a cocoa content of 70% or higher for a richer flavor.
  • Chill the Haystacks before Dipping: After shaping the haystacks, chill them in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chocolate coating set better and prevent it from melting while dipping.
  • Use a Double Boiler or Microwave for Melting Chocolate: To avoid burning or overheating the chocolate, use a double boiler or microwave method. Stir the chocolate frequently to ensure it melts evenly and smoothly.
  • Add Optional Ingredients: Feel free to customize your haystacks by adding other ingredients like chopped nuts, dried fruits, or even a dash of cinnamon for a warm flavor.
