Categories     dessert

Yield 12 large haystacks

Number Of Ingredients 2

2 1/4 cups flaked sweetened coconut
8 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350 degrees F. Place the coconut in a single layer on a baking tray. Toast until golden brown, about 10 minutes. The edges will toast faster than the middle so stir coconut every couple minutes for even coloring.
  • Melt the chocolate over a double boiler over hot water, making sure the bottom of the bowl does not touch the water. Remove the chocolate from the heat and whisk until smooth. Stir in the coconut. Using approximately 1 tablespoon per haystack, form the mixture into 1 1/2-inch tall stacks. Place them on a baking sheet. Refrigerate until set, about 30 minutes.

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.

Tips:

  • Choose high-quality chocolate for the best flavor. Look for a chocolate with a cocoa content of at least 70%.
  • Use fresh matzo farfel. Stale matzo farfel will not hold together well and will make the haystacks crumbly.
  • Make sure the butter is melted and cooled slightly before adding it to the chocolate mixture. This will help prevent the chocolate from seizing.
  • Add the matzo farfel to the chocolate mixture in small batches, stirring gently to coat. This will help prevent the haystacks from becoming too dense.
  • Form the haystacks into small, bite-sized balls. If the haystacks are too large, they will be difficult to eat.
  • Roll the haystacks in chopped nuts or sprinkles for a festive touch.
  • Store the haystacks in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.

Conclusion:

Chocolate Matzo Farfel Haystacks are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that is perfect for any occasion. They can be made with just a few simple ingredients and are always a hit with both kids and adults. So next time you are looking for a sweet snack, give this recipe a try!
