How do you make pecan haystacks?

 

Stirring often to avoid burning you simply melt the chocolate chips and butterscotch chips in a medium sized saucepan on the stovetop {until completely melted}. This takes maybe 5 minutes.

Next, stir in the pecan halves and the chow mein noodles until they are completely covered by the chocolate mixture. That’s pretty simple!

Trust me, the sweet and salty combination is what makes this recipe.

To make these Pecan Haystacks, just drop spoonfuls onto a sheet of wax or parchment paper and let it sit for at least an hour or longer. Once it’s completely hardened, you can move them safely.

  28. I like how easy these are, and I really enjoy the sweetness that Pecans add so I am sure that this would be a fantastic treat! I wonder how they would turn out with semi-sweet chocolate instead of milk chocolate chips? I think I will try 🙂
