We tried this recipe: https://addapinch.com/chocolate-haystacks-recipe/ We made a half-recipe: 1 cup chow mein noodles (which we eventually increased to 1 ¼ cup); ½ cup pecan pieces, pistachios, and slivered almonds (lightly toasted together); 12 oz Ghirardelli semi-sweet chocolate chips (microwave-melted in a medium-sized ovenproof glass mixing bowl); and a sprinkle of kosher salt over the formed haystacks. We formed the haystacks onto 3 parchment-lined quarter-pans, and we placed the pans in the freezer. (May 2020)
Note: Once hardened, the chocolate coating (composed entirely of melted chocolate chips) was hard to bite into at times. The next time, we may add some almond or similar nut butter to make the coating more supple. A ratio of 10 oz melted chocolate chips and ½ cup almond butter would make sense, based on our prior recipe: https://piglettedc.tumblr.com/post/114621343681/chocolate-almond-butter-haystacks-combine-2-cups
