I've used this recipe a dozen times for family gatherings and everyone always asks for them. It's the closest thing I can find to the ones my mom made when I was a little girl. Great recipe!

I had all these ingediants on hand ! The cocoa powder was sweetened so I cut back on the sugar. I replaced the nuts with peanut butter. I spread these in a 9 x 12 pan and swirled caramel topping in like you would "marble" a cake. Not only delicious but very nutricious!! i have made these at leat 3 times in as many weeks.

Easy, but not a great cookie. Might try again with more nuts or something?

I've made these for years, we simply call them "no-bakes" and I dont add any nuts or coconut.(peanut butter after the boil instead) Just a note for the boiling process, stir all the while its on the burner, when it come to a hard boil(one you can't stir down) keep stirring and boiling for one minute,( i count it out one-thousand one, one-thousand two, etc.) then get it off the burner right away, then stir in the remaining. avoid scraping the sides of the pan too, as it gets sugar-y consistancy. this should help those who had the 'too runny' or 'too hard' problems. Also stir together the sugar and cocoa before adding the wet ingredients, this allows the cocoa to mix better.

These have always been my favorite cookies, though I know them as 'No Bake Cookies' and usually omit the coconut and peanuts and use a tsp of vanilla extract. A tip for people who find the cookies too crumbly, or too gooey, it's very important that you only let the wet ingredients boil for one minute (minute starts when it comes to a boil) and wait a bit before adding the dry ingredients. Move the wet ingredients off the burner and let it simmer down until it's no longer bubbling, add the ingredients then and you should get well set cookies. If you wait too long they will turn to powder before you can get them into drop cookies!

My mother made these for us when we were little kids (and I'm 59). I made them for years for my kids and siblings. Everyone always loves them and they are the most requested cookie I've ever made. My recipe does not include nuts.

These were very good. I did leave out the peanuts, though, because I have never eaten haystacks with peanuts, and didn't know how they would turn out.

I followed the recipe exactly as it is posted, as advised by Izzy&jujusmom, and they came out perfect. The peanut/coconut combo sure tastes great! Equally as good was that they took just minutes to mix, boil, mix and spoon - soooo simple. And within minutes, they were already setting up. An hour ago I was scrambling to decide last minute what dessert I was going to take to our 4th of July neighborhood party and now the Haystacks are done and I can relax. A keeper recipe for sure!

So yummy! We both ate them all up in 2 days. Only thing different that we did was omit the peanuts and put a tablespoon of peanut butter instead. :) I am going to make these again TONIGHT!
