Ingredients
Main Ingredients
2 ½ cups chow mein noodles
1 ¼ cups salted cashews
16 oz white chocolate candy coating (or white baking chocolate chips)
¾ cup caramel bits
Equipment
Large microwave-safe bowl
Spatula
Baking sheet
Parchment paper or wax paper
Spoon or cookie scoop
Instructions
Line a baking sheet with parchment or wax paper.
In a large microwave-safe bowl, melt the white chocolate coating in 30-second intervals, stirring between each until smooth.
Stir in caramel bits until evenly combined.
Gently fold in the chow mein noodles and salted cashews, coating evenly without breaking the noodles.
Drop spoonfuls of the mixture onto the prepared baking sheet to form “haystacks.”
Let set at room temperature or chill in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes, until firm.
Once set, transfer to an airtight container for storage.
Notes
Use salted cashews to balance the sweetness of the caramel and white chocolate.
Substitute white chocolate chips if candy coating is unavailable.
Store at room temperature for up to 1 week, or refrigerate for longer freshness.
Drizzle with melted dark chocolate for an added flavor layer.
