English Toffee Haystacks are a delightful no-bake treat combining crunchy chow mein noodles, salted almonds, and rich Heath Bits O’ Brickle English Toffee Bits all coated in creamy melted chocolate. These sweet and crunchy clusters are quick to prepare and perfect for serving at parties or as a simple indulgent snack.

Ingredients

Scale

Dry Ingredients

  • 1 3/4 cups chow mein noodles
  • 3/4 cup salted almonds, roughly chopped
  • 3/4 cup Heath Bits O’ Brickle English Toffee Bits (plus extra for sprinkling)

Coating

  • 16 oz. chocolate candy coating

Instructions

  1. Melt the chocolate: Gently melt the chocolate candy coating over medium heat on the stovetop or in a microwave-safe bowl in the microwave, stirring regularly to prevent burning and ensure smooth melting.
  2. Combine ingredients: Add the chow mein noodles, chopped salted almonds, and most of the English toffee bits into the melted chocolate. Reserve some toffee bits for topping.
  3. Mix thoroughly: Stir the mixture carefully until all the dry ingredients are fully coated with the melted chocolate, ensuring even coverage for that perfect toffee crunch.
  4. Form the haystacks: Drop the mixture by spoonfuls onto wax paper lined baking sheets. Immediately sprinkle the tops with the reserved toffee bits and additional chopped almonds if desired.
  5. Cool and set: Let the chocolate haystacks cool completely at room temperature until the chocolate hardens and sets into clusters.
  6. Serve or store: Serve the haystacks right away or store them at room temperature in an airtight container for up to a week.

Notes

  • Be sure to stir the chocolate regularly during melting to prevent scorching.
  • For a nut-free version, omit the almonds or substitute with seeds.
  • Use wax paper or parchment paper to prevent sticking when cooling the haystacks.
  • These treats can be refrigerated for faster setting, but bring them to room temperature before serving for best texture.
  • Store in an airtight container to maintain freshness and crunch.
