Chocolate-Cornflake Haystacks

Haystacks are usually not baked.  Dorie Greenspan's recipe adds eggs and some time in the oven at a low heat.  The result is a sweet, chewy treat.

The recipe is very easy to mix up, no mixer required.  I used all the ingredients listed:  eggs, agave nectar, salt, coconut, pecans, raisins, cornflakes, and milk chocolate.  I wondered about substituting honey or corn syrup for the agave nectar, but after some research decided to make the effort to acquire the agave nectar.

To use up the rest of the agave nectar I will plan to make these again soon.  Next time I will use a different, richer milk chocolate.   This is an appealing recipe.

  1. I bought agave syrup for the first time for this recipe too. I am glad they were a hit for you.

  3. I think honey would work just as well (and produce a chewier treat than mine were with brown rice syrup!)

  4. This was my first time with agave. I think karo corn syrup would work. Cookies were not my favorite but just okay.

  5. This was my first time for agave syrup and I liked the flavor. Not the cookies so much.
