Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons butter cut into pieces
- 1 bag 10 oz miniature marshmallows
- 1 cup white baking chips or white chocolate morsels
- 4 cups chow mein noodles yes, the crunchy ones!
- 1 cup cocktail peanuts
- 1/2 cup Vanilla Frosting
- 2 teaspoons nonpareils or Holiday sprinkles optional, but highly recommended for that extra Christmas sparkle
Instructions
- Prep the Cookie Sheets: Line cookie sheets with waxed paper or parchment paper, then spray lightly with cooking spray. In a large bowl sprayed with cooking spray, combine the chow mein noodles and peanuts.
- Melt the Magic: In a microwave-safe bowl, melt the marshmallows and butter in 30-second intervals equalling about 1 1/2 - 2 minutes, stirring between each until smooth and dreamy.
- Mix It Up: Stir in the white chocolate chips and frosting.
- Combine & Shape the Haystacks: Pour the hot marshmallow mixture over the noodle and peanut mixture, stirring until evenly coated. Drop the mixture by rounded tablespoonfuls onto the prepared cookie sheets to form individual haystacks. Top immediately with sprinkles. If the mixture becomes difficult to scoop, microwave it uncovered on High for 15 seconds to soften.
- Cool completely. Allow to rest for an hour before putting into an airtight container.
