So good and easy to make! My siblings and I made huge batches of these cookies Sunday afternoons, and they were usually gone by Tuesday! The time for boiling the mixture is listed at 5 minutes, but if you cook it a little less, the cookies are chewier.

Categories     dessert

Time 30m

Yield about 18 cookies

Number Of Ingredients 9

3 cups cornflake cereal
1/3 cup packed light brown sugar
1/4 cup light corn syrup
1/4 cup heavy cream
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 teaspoon ground nutmeg
Pinch of kosher salt
Nonpareils, for decorating

Steps:

  • Put the cereal in a large bowl. Combine the brown sugar, corn syrup, heavy cream and butter in a small saucepan. Bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to medium and whisk until smooth. Continue cooking, whisking occasionally, until the mixture thickens and starts to pull away from the sides of the pan, 5 to 6 minutes (it should register 230 degrees F on a candy thermometer). Remove from the heat and whisk in the vanilla, nutmeg and salt.
  • Immediately pour the caramel over the cereal and stir with a rubber spatula until evenly coated. Scoop heaping tablespoonfuls of the cereal mixture onto an ungreased baking sheet. Let cool slightly, then use your fingers to gently form each into a mound or pyramid shape; sprinkle with nonpareils. Let cool completely.

Tips:

  • Choose the right ingredients: Use fresh and high-quality ingredients to ensure the best flavor and texture. For the peanut butter, choose a creamy and smooth variety. For the chocolate chips, use semi-sweet or dark chocolate chips for a rich and decadent flavor.
  • Melt the chocolate properly: To avoid burning or seizing the chocolate, melt it slowly and carefully. You can do this in a microwave-safe bowl in 30-second increments, stirring in between, or in a heatproof bowl set over a saucepan of simmering water, stirring constantly.
  • Chill the mixture before shaping: This will help the mixture to set properly and hold its shape. Place the bowl of melted chocolate mixture in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes, or until it has thickened and is no longer runny.
  • Use a variety of toppings: To add flavor and texture to your haystacks, use a variety of toppings such as chopped nuts, crushed pretzels, dried fruit, or shredded coconut. You can also drizzle the haystacks with melted chocolate or caramel sauce for an extra touch of sweetness.

Conclusion:

No-bake haystacks are a delicious and easy-to-make treat that are perfect for any occasion. With just a few simple ingredients, you can create a sweet and satisfying snack that everyone will love.
