Chocolate Haystacks

About Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD

Award-winning public speaker, New York Times bestselling author and world-renowned health expert, Dr. Sarah Ballantyne, PhD (aka The Paleo Mom) believes the key to reversing the current epidemics of chronic disease is scientific literacy. She creates educational resources to help people regain their health through diet and lifestyle choices informed by the most current evidenced-based scientific research.

These no-bake cookies are based on one my mom used to make when we were kids that was nuts and oats held together with chocolate.  This Paleo version ditches the dairy ingredients and the rolled oats.  It’s almost like a super nutty chocolate bark.  I like it as little haystacks but you could make it even simpler by spreading it out onto a cookie sheet and then breaking apart pieces like chocolate bark.  Or you could put them is simple candy molds if you want to get fancy.  You can use semisweet, bittersweet or even super dark chocolate, depending on your preference.  Makes: 1 dozen
