Chow Mein-Noodle Haystacks image

Provided by Food Network

Categories     dessert

Time 1h

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 ounces spaghetti, or 5 ounces packaged fried chow mein noodles
1 tablespoon vegetable oil, plus oil for frying
5 ounces semisweet or bittersweet chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
1/2 cup unsalted roasted peanuts, coarsely chopped
1 recipe chow mein-noodle haystacks
3/4 cup marshmallows, cut into 1/4-inch pieces
2 ounces spaghetti, or 5 ounces packaged fried chow mein noodles
5 ounces white chocolate
1/4 cup unsweetened coconut flakes, toasted
1/2 cup pecans, chopped

Steps:

  • Chow Mein-Noodle Haystacks: In a large pot of boiling water, cook the spaghetti until tender. Drain well, then toss with 1 teaspoon of vegetable oil to prevent sticking. In a skillet or electric fryer, heat 1-inch of oil to 365 degrees. Working in batches of 3 or 4 tangled strands, fry the spaghetti until golden brown. Let the spaghetti intertwine to form interesting shapes. Drain on paper towels. Break the spaghetti or chow mein noodles into pieces no larger than 1-inch long. In a completely dry bowl or in the top of a double boiler set over barely simmering water, melt the chocolate. Mix in the noodles, coconut, and peanuts. Drop walnut size haystacks of the mixture on a cookie sheet and refrigerate for 30 minutes to set. Serve chilled.
  • Rocky Road Haystacks: Stir in chopped marshmallows to the chow mein-noodle haystack recipe.
  • White-Chocolate Chow Mein-Noodle Haystacks: Substitute white chocolate for the semisweet chocolate and chopped pecans for the peanuts in the original chow mein-noodle haystacks recipe.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: Chow mein noodles are essential for this recipe. Look for a brand that is crispy and has a good flavor. You can also use wonton wrappers or egg roll wrappers if you prefer.
  • Use fresh vegetables: Fresh vegetables will give your cookies a more vibrant flavor and color. Chop them into small pieces so that they cook evenly.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Overcooked noodles will become mushy and lose their flavor. Cook them according to the package directions, or until they are just tender.
  • Use a nonstick skillet: A nonstick skillet will help to prevent the cookies from sticking. If you don't have a nonstick skillet, you can grease a regular skillet with cooking spray.
  • Be careful not to burn the cookies: Chow mein noodle cookies can burn easily, so keep a close eye on them while they are cooking. Reduce the heat if necessary.

Conclusion:

Chow mein noodle cookies are a delicious and easy-to-make snack or dessert. They are perfect for parties or potlucks, and they can also be enjoyed as a quick and satisfying snack. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a batch of these tasty cookies that will be sure to please everyone.
