Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 2 1/2 cups chow mein noodles
  • 1 1/4 cups salted cashews
  • 16 ounces white chocolate candy coating
  • 3/4 cup caramel bits

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper or wax paper.
  2. In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate candy coating in 30-second intervals, stirring well between each interval until smooth.
  3. Stir in the caramel bits until they are evenly distributed in the melted white chocolate.
  4. Add the chow mein noodles and salted cashews to the mixture, gently folding them in to coat evenly without breaking the noodles.
  5. Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form small clusters or 'haystacks.'
  6. Allow the clusters to set at room temperature or place them in the refrigerator until firm, about 30 minutes.
  7. Once set, remove from the baking sheet and store in an airtight container.

Notes

These haystacks can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator or frozen for up to two months. When you're ready to enjoy, simply let them come to room temperature.
