CHOW MEIN-NOODLE HAYSTACKS
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.

Tips:
- Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh, high-quality ingredients for the best flavor. Salted peanuts and fresh chow mein noodles are essential for classic haystacks.
- Don't overcrowd the pan: When frying the noodles, don't overcrowd the pan or they will stick together. Fry them in small batches if necessary.
- Use a large bowl: You'll need a large bowl to mix all of the ingredients together. A 12-quart bowl is ideal.
- Get creative with your toppings: Haystacks are a great way to use up leftover ingredients. Try adding chocolate chips, dried fruit, nuts, or candy.
- Serve immediately: Haystacks are best served immediately after they are made. The noodles will start to soften if they sit for too long.
Conclusion:
Haystacks are a fun and easy treat that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. They are perfect for parties, potlucks, or a quick snack. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive haystack that will be a hit with everyone. So next time you're looking for a sweet and salty treat, give haystacks a try!
