Haystacks

     Remember that tip about buying chocolate candy on sale after a holiday for baking? I just used my Easter chocolate to make these Haystacks for a friend who is taking care of Baby Jack, our dog.

     I made them by melting the chocolate with a bit of peanut butter, adding Chow Mein Noodles, Cheerios and peanuts.  Then, dropped them by the tablespoon-full amounts onto a cookie sheet to firm up. 

     I don't have measurements because it just depends on how much chocolate you have to use. One tip I do have is that for the mound of dry ingredients, the chocolate really goes a long way. Just keep adding a little of each until you've used up all the melted chocolate mixture.
