Haystacks.

[MrsLinda]

Awhile back, maybe during the summer, there was a recipe for Haystacks going around.

Anyone have it handy? I have the cereal and the chocolate chips. I just forgot what to do with them! :crazy::crazy:

Oh Linda! Good idea! I have both too. The last time I made them I believe I just melted a bag of the choc. chips and mixed in a bag of the Fiber One then dropped them by a spoon onto wax paper and put them in the fridge.

Aw crud, I have All Bran not Fiber One.:sobbing: Oh well.. have one for me!

[luv2lose]

Hi Linda,

All you do is melt the chips (12 punce bag) and mix in one sleeve of the Fiber one. Drop it on a cookie sheet (I line with waxpaper) and chill or freeze.

Make 26 haystacks and they are 1 point each.

[MrsLinda]

Thanks Chris and Maureen!!

I totally forgot that I had picked up the chips and cereal. Good thing I never opened the sleeve of cereal....I bought this stuff in July!! :crazy:

I'm gona make them tomorrow!!

[MrsLinda]

One more ?? Can I store these in a cookie jar or should they stay cool???

[Parham91x2]

I've only ever kept them in a tupperware in the fridge. I was afraid they would melt. If you leave them out let me know if they melt or not so I don't have to use the fridge if I don't need to.:kiss:

[MrsLinda]

I think I'll just keep a few out to see if they go "mush" on me and the rest in the fridge. I'll let you know!

[luv2lose]

I normally just keep them in the freezer. They last longer that way;) out of sight, out of mind:rolleyes: :D

[MrsLinda]

These things are good!!!!

I actually got more than 26 out of my batch but I'm still counting them as 1 pt each.

Chris....they do get kinda "soft" out of the fridge. So that answers that question!

I have to warn DS about the effects of too much fiber! He'll love these and think he can just pop 'em down! :) :)

[KentuckyRose]

What is a sleeve of Fiber one?

[Parham91x2]

Fiber One cereal comes in a box that has two seperate "sleeves" or bags of the cereal inside. You just use one of them to make the haystacks. :D

[MrsLinda]

And they're really good. Hummmm.....I still might have an extra "sleeve" in the pantry.

[WWLifer]

These sound great. I know I will have to try these over spring break. I know I will have to put them in the freezer. Chocolate can be a red light food if it is in my sight:)

*********WARNING**********


Make sure you DO NOT eat to many of these at one time (or in a short period of time).

No, it is not the points, it is the FIBER!!!!!!!


If you do, you will regret it :ugh: and never forget to eat only a couple in a day. :D

[MrsLinda]

Oh yeah.....lots of fiber in these goodies!!!

[sjc1228]

OK....so this is a dangerous thread for me. Why did y'all haul it back out of the dust bin? :D :D :D :D :D

I ALWAYS have Fiber One around. I mix it with other cereals to increase the fiber. I NEED that fiber, if ya know what I mean.

BUT......I LOVE chocolate, and putting the two together could (no, WOULD)be a bad thing for me. I think I might easily eat all 26 of them and die happy (if somewhat crampy)

I think I had better forget that I saw this thread!!!!!

[wandaf]

I am going to try them next week. LOL I can't resist! I am thinking of freezing them in those little serving size ziplocks though so I won't be tempted to grab more than I need. I think the fiber would do me good and I KNOW the chocolate would. LOL

[MrsLinda]

You know Sue I thought the same thing. I was really afraid that I'd eat all in one seating. :embarrass But I didn't. I will admitt that I would eat maybe 3. But I always have points left in the evenings for sweets and they might as well be "healthier" ones!

[Parham91x2]

Sue,
I have a chocolate problem too but if I tried to eat all of these at once my mouth would be torn up from all the crunchy cereal, plus you'd poo out anything you ate anyway! LOL! Eww!

I just don't see how it would be possible but YOU know YOU better than we do:buddysmoo

[no ka oi]

I'm tempted to eat all of the 26 cookies with my WPA just to see what would happen.:crazy:

[sjc1228]

LOL Chris......TMI (too much information!) LOL

OK, I bought the chocolate chips and I'm going to try these. If I blow myself all the way to your house Chris......you'll know why! :angel

[luv2lose]

I really like the Andes candies chips that they have now with this. It is sooooooo good!

What is everyones favorite flavor....milk, dark, semi-sweet, peanut butter, butterscotch, andes candies, etc.

[Dawn1943]

I make the ones with chow mein noodles and peanuts at christmas .. But these sound good ..


I always mix 1/2 bag of each of butterscotch and choc.

but peanut butter and choc mixed would be good don't ya think.:crazy:

Ok, I made these and they are indeed Y_U_M_M_Y!

I re-figured the points with the 12 oz bag of c.chips that I used and the sleeve of Fiber One. (BTW, I ended up with 30 Haystacks).

One Haystack was only 1 point, because although it had 90 calories, it had 7 gms of fiber and 4 gms of fat, but when I calculated 2 Haystacks, it jumped all the way up to 4 points......because of the fiber cap.

So I would warn buddies to be careful about eating more.....both because of the potential for GI distress and the increased points.

But......I am still happy to have these around. I love something sweet after dinner and this will definitely work for me.

Thanks.

[donnashops]

ooh.. Ande's chips sound so good.. I like them all:embarrass the combo of butterscoth and chocolate and peanut butter and chocolate sound yummy too.. can you tell what my fave food is.. CHOCOLATE:o

[MrsLinda]

Chocolate is my favorite but I'm tempted to try the 1/2 chocolate and 1/2 peanutbutter. Yummm....

[AbbySV]

I made these last night also and they were great! I was even thinking that adding actualy peanut butter to the chocolate would also make them very tasty, but of course would also increase the points. I like them with just the chocolate too though!

[Parham91x2]

LOL Chris......TMI (too much information!) LOL

You ought to know by now to read my posts with caution. LOL :embarrass
Hmmm I wonder how many AP's it would be from Indiana to California??

[sassysmiles]

OH YUM!! I made these and LOVE them. I have to be careful not to eat too many...LOL

[Cuddle Bunny]

I assume for this recipe the 12 oz chocolate chips are whatever chips I grab first? That is, not a special, available in only store on the planet, low fat, no sugar, safe for eating chocolate (as if)?

[plcm111195]

Just the standard run of the mill chocolate chips like you'd use for cookies.

[justme642]

Hey did anyone every try to mix in some....say raisins.. I'd say that might be a good mix in.
