Actually, they are supposed to be Chocolate CORNFLAKE Haystacks but we don’t have a lot of cereal in the pantry so I used CORN CHEX instead. Dorie said we could change the recipe around because it is a “DIYer’s dream”. Thank you, Dorie. I changed a lot. Not because I wanted to but because I didn’t get to the store this week. WEATHER!!!
So let me show you my Chocolate Corn Chex Haystacks instead
I have been making Haystacks for years – the stove top kind – and usually with chocolate and peanut butter {Imagine these with chopped peanuts and PB chips!}. They are some of The Man’s fave cookies. He was happy when he saw these.
I did make a FEW subs. I used Semi-Sweet chocolate instead of Milk Chocolate. Dried Cranberries instead of Raisins {EWWWW!!}. Chopped Almonds instead of Pecans. Dorie said we could…..
GOOD STUFF!!
The recipe is from Dorie’s Cookies on page 174.

Hey better late than never. Sorry the weather is not cooperating for you. I like all your substitutions especially the corn Chex.

Glad the Chex worked ok too – I like forgiving recipes.

I think yours sound better than mine! The corn chex sounds like a good sub.

Well I second Diane in saying better late than never! I have been too hectic to bake. But what I really want to know are they a keeper? Would you make them again?

No, I don’t think so. Unless I put some PB in them. I like my other recipe for these better.
