I've been making these for years without the raisins. Aother really good alternative is to use butterscotch chips with the chow mein noodles instead of chocolate. They always go really fast, and are quick to whip up.

Trying to make these into balls with my hands was just about impossible, it just sticks to you. I ended up just grabbing some, squishing it together best I could and plopping it onto the paper. These cookies taste good and I love the crunchiness. I can't wait to make these again!

I've always loved these! I substituted 1 1/2 cup of marshmallows for the raisins. I may have had too much chocolate, because I had to add an extra 1/2 cup of chow mein noodles to thicken it up a bit.

These cookie 'haystacks' are dead easy to make, and best of all they require no baking time! I'd recommend chopping up the dry chow mein noodles a bit as the ones I bought were quite long. Great first-time recipe for kids.
