  • 1 can 5 oz crispy chow mein noodles (142 g)
  • 1/2 cup salted peanuts chopped (optional) (70 g)

  3. Remove from heat and stir in the chow mein noodles and salted peanuts (if using), stirring quickly to coat.
  4. Working quickly, drop by spoonfuls onto the wax paper.
  5. Let cool until set, then enjoy!

Notes

Make sure to work quickly when dropping the mixture onto the wax paper, as it will begin to harden and become more difficult to shape.
You can substitute other types of nuts for the salted peanuts, or omit them altogether for a nut-free version.
These haystacks can be stored in an airtight container at room temperature for up to a week.
