How to Make Hershey's Cocoa Haystacks

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 1 cup granulated sugar, 1/2 cup butter, 1/4 cup milk, and 1/2 cup Hershey's unsweetened cocoa powder.
  2. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture reaches a full rolling boil. This will take about 3-5 minutes. Be sure to scrape down the sides of the pan.
  3. Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the mixture cool slightly for about 1 minute.
  4. Stir in 1 cup chow mein noodles, 1 cup peanut butter chips, 1 cup chocolate chips, and 1 cup raisins. Mix until evenly combined.
  5. Immediately drop rounded teaspoonfuls of the mixture onto wax paper-lined baking sheets.
  6. Allow the haystacks to cool completely at room temperature. This will take about 30-45 minutes.
  7. Store in an airtight container in a cool, dry place for up to a week.
