HAYSTACKS

I have made these cookies for my family for about 30 years now. My son (who is now 36 years old) gets so excited when I make these; he always enjoys them with a tall glass of milk. I find that I have to be careful when melting the butterscotch because it seems to scorch easily, so take care - this is an essential ingredient! Also, these are best enjoyed in the winter because they seem to melt and not taste as great in the warmer weather.

HAYSTACKS



Haystacks image

Toasted coconut covered with chocolate makes this delicious candy. I love the contrast of texture that the crisp toasted coconut provides.

Yield 30 pieces

Number Of Ingredients 2

1 3/4 cups shredded or flaked sweetened coconut
7 ounces bittersweet chocolate, finely chopped

Steps:

  • Center a rack in the oven and preheat to 325°F.
  • Place the coconut on a baking sheet and toast for 4 to 5 minutes, until light golden brown, stirring after each minute. Remove from the oven and cool to room temperature on a rack.
  • Melt and temper the chocolate (see pages 25-30) and hold it at the correct temperature by placing it over a bowl of water that is 2°F warmer than the chocolate. If using the same thermometer to check the temperature of the chocolate and the water, be sure to dry it completely so no water mixes with the chocolate. Add the toasted coconut to the tempered chocolate and stir to coat it completely.
  • Line a baking sheet with parchment or waxed paper. Using a spoon, form 1-inch mounds and place them on the baking sheet. Let the mounds set up at room temperature, or place them in the refrigerator for 15 minutes, then place them in paper candy cups.
  • Store the haystacks between layers of waxed paper in an airtight container wrapped with aluminum foil in the refrigerator for up to 3 weeks or in the freezer for up to 2 months. The haystacks are best served at room temperature.
  • Replace the coconut with raisins or a mixture of raisins and toasted, salted peanuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients for the best flavor. This is especially important for the chocolate and peanut butter.
  • If you don't have a candy thermometer, you can test the chocolate to see if it's ready by dropping a small amount into a glass of cold water. If it forms a firm ball, it's ready.
  • Be careful not to overmix the batter, as this can make the haystacks tough.
  • If you want to make the haystacks ahead of time, you can freeze them for up to 2 weeks. Just thaw them at room temperature before serving.

Conclusion:

Mounds haystacks are an iconic American dessert that is perfect for any occasion. They are easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. With a few simple ingredients, you can create a delicious and festive treat that will be enjoyed by people of all ages.
