This time of the year gets so darn busy. The days fly by at a hundred miles a minute. I have begun to bake Christmas goodies and freeze them. These white chocolate peanut holiday Haystack Cookies are so beautiful, easy, and delicious, and they freeze well. Is your available time starting to run short? Well, these little treasures only take a few minutes, and aren’t they pretty?
I can not believe that Christmas is yet again right around the corner. So much to do and so little time. I feel like from Halloween on; it is RUN, RUDOLPH RUN!! Tons of fun but lots to do!! These little treasures can literally be prepared from start to finish in less than ten minutes. There are only four ingredients, and the cost is minimal as well.
How to freeze Haystack Cookies
These cookies can be prepared ahead of time and frozen. Once the cookies are completely set, pack them in double Ziploc freezer bags and place them in sturdy glad-ware containers. When thawing, take them out of the containers frozen and place them on serving trays or platters uncovered. Once they come to room temperature, cover them with plastic wrap or store them in airtight containers.
How to make no-bake Haystack Cookies
Melt the chocolate in a large microwavable bowl according to bag instructions. Add peanuts and chow mein noodles. Drop by rounded spoonfuls onto wax paper. Shake on sprinkles and allow to cool for several hours before removing them from the wax paper.
How to decorate Haystack Cookies for other holidays
They sell sprinkles for virtually every holiday and occasion. I have picked them up at Michaels, Hobby Lobby, and my local grocery stores. Just change out the sprinkles to fit the holiday.
- Valentine’s Day – hearts
- Easter – bunnies, chicks, and ducks
- Memorial Day and 4th of July – red, white, and blue
- Halloween – orange, black and white
- Christmas – trees and stars
- Birthday – rainbow sprinkles
- Wedding – white, gold, and silver

Can’t wait to make the Haystacks! And also like many of your other recipes! Look forward to a cookbook! Would like to know where you got the container for the Haystacks!
Thanks!

Thanks Sherry! I think I got that container at Target. They sell containers like that this time of the year. They are usually in the dollar bins at the front of the store.

Can these go into the fridge after making to speed up process. I do it with my haystacks but wasn’t sure about this recipe. Can’t wait to try them .
