As a Boomer, I've eaten/made many of the old recipes you try. When you make something I've eaten (like now), I smile and think, "Just wait until you try those!". You make me remember so many happy times cooking with my mom and aunt.
It's the little glimmer in his eyes and the way his ears perk up when he really likes something... This man's a precious bean and should be protected at all costs.
Shhhh the 2020's might hear you. They took enough treasures already. I'll get the bubble wrap and bubble dome you get the Clorox spray and baking ingredients to keep him busy and fed
@@OrchidFlame me am human. No robot here beep. Dear fellow human have you taken your meds today boop. You seem to be thinking robots rule the world. Beep beep. But I assure you we I mean they are not.
I made these once, but like rice crispy treats, and shaped them into nests, decorated with jelly bird eggs, and voila! Bird nests for Easter Treats! Cooking with odd components is so fun!
I grew up on the other end of Tennessee, near Knoxville (Oak Ridge, specifically). We used to make these treats, but we called them bird's nest cookies. They are weirdly DELICIOUS! Thanks for the memories, B'Dylan❤️
These were a classic elementary school treat when I was a kid. We called them haystack cookies and had them at school parties in the fall, along with apple cider, cinnamon sugar donuts, and pumpkin bread. *Edit: American cider, especially in states with a large apple-growing industry, is just unfiltered apple juice. Sometimes it's heated and mixed with spices like cloves, nutmeg, and cinnamon, sometimes it's just served cold. They were not giving alcohol to seven year olds.
@@yllom9667 you know the answer to this already lol Any guy that is watching a flamboyant gay man baking, then bashes on women in said creators comments is not... okay.
These were my dad's favorite when he was a kid! Hes been talking about them for years but still hasn't made them. Thanks to you i think I'll treat him to a taste 6 his childhood
I remember these being called "Birds Nests" when I was a kid. You can shape them into a bowl and then place in candy eggs if you want something for Easter. Very glad to see the recipe again!
I used to make these every Easter with my grandmother. She called them Robin's nests. We'd take dark chocolate and peanut butter chips, melt them, add the chow mein noodles, shape into circles with a thinner layer in the center, then add little candy eggs to them. I still make them every year despite my grandmother being gone. It brings back happy memories of being in the kitchen with her.
@@momsphonephone8592 The cool thing is that you can customize them however you like. You can add nuts, change out the type of chocolate, take two "nests" and make a hollow shell filled with candies, I've even switched out the chow mein noodles for thin pretzel sticks so it's not overly sweet.
Robin's nests, yes!! I couldn't remember what we called them (my grandmother's been gone 20 years and a lot of those traditions went with her). That was it!
Seeing Dylan grossed out is all well and good and funny, but I absolutely genuinely love when he is pleasantly surprised. That look in his eyes and the slow curl of a smile he obviously didn't want or expect to be making. S-tier.
My great aunt would make something similar for family holidays. Almond bark, chow mein noodles, peanuts and white raisins. It was the best! This video helped me remember her and how much I loved that as a kid, thanks!
My grandma and I make those every year near the holidays and she’s coming over in a few hours to bake with me! So the fact that this specific recipe came up today just put a huge smile on my face! I’m so glad you enjoyed the haystacks!!! Thank you for all that you do, you make so many people happy! ❤️
My grandmother made these constantly all through my childhood. She used mini marshmallows instead of peanuts and peanut butter instead of chocolate chips. This was nostalgic as heck lol.
@@sarahbear1236 she called them chow mein noodle cookies. Which probably isn't a helpful anwser sorry. I think she got the recipe from one of her neighbors way back so she may have just called them that because she wasn't given an actual name, just the recipe itself.

@@CroneLife1 Oh come on, it's not that deep. There's no way you really want to convince me that these tasted revolutionary or wildly different to their constituent ingredients.
Finally something I've made! I made these from a child cookbook that had a lot of no bake recipes. I found all the ingredients in the kitchen and put it together one evening. These are good.
These were a staple afterschool treat when I was growing up in the 1970s, usually served with a tiny Dixie cup of juice or milk. It never occurred to me that the flavor combination was so special.
Turns out Teresa from Memphis knew EXACTLY what she was talking about. And she was probably also the Fun Mom on the block who always had the best snacks, plus everyone’s favorite flavors of Kool-Aid in the fridge at all times (plus fresh-squeezed lemonade on special occasions) and always welcomed the gaggle of semi-feral children who roamed the neighborhood from breakfast until the street lights came on. Lots of us grew up on snacks like these and continue to adore the legion of moms who treated all of us like we were their own, simply because we lived on the same block.
My mom started making these around 1968. I think she got the recipe from a women's magazine. We called them 'hairy monsters.' They were awesome. My wife and I made them for our kids around Christmas time. The kids and grandkids love them.
I absolutely love how his ear perks up before the rest of his face breaks into a smile, it happens every single GOOD food that he comes across. Its adorable! 🥰
My grandmother and I made these together in the 70s. She lived on a farm, was in her 90s and cooked on a wood stove. Thanks for bringing back those memories. ❤
I've had these many times. Some with peanut butter instead of chopped peanuts, and even some with salted almonds. These cookies are so gosh diddly dang good.
I'm a 70s kid and the mom's were still making recipes from the sixties, primarily...I can profess that I've actually eaten these cookies way back when and they are utterly delicious!
I love that every time Dylan is pleasantly surprised by something his lil ears perk and he gets such a giddy grin on his face haha, so much serotonin seeing his face light up with just pure joy
We've eaten this in my family pretty much my whole life, I've also heard them called haystack cookies, bird nest cookies, reindeer poop cookies (during Christmas time). Never had them with peanuts though, have had them with mini marshmallows tho!
We made these for Easter. Put a few strategically placed jelly beans, and you have the cutest little birds nests ever! White chocolate and almonds work, too!
For Easter, my aunt would make these with only the butterscotch chips and form them into bird's nests. Once cooled, she would fill them with jelly beans as the "eggs." We loved them!
My family called these haystacks. Another lady I knew called them bird nests. She'd put a few jelly beans in the center for the eggs. She was a teacher and she'd make them every spring for her class. My grandma's version used only the butterscotch chips and put in some crunchy peanut butter. The next time I make them I'm going to try it this way though, because I think I would prefer the chocolate and salty peanuts.
The serotonin release I get from these videos is unrivaled
So true!
When he finds a recipe that works its extra serotonin on top of him just making the recipe 😋
Same. Except when I repeat these recipes. Some are really yum 😋 😍 🙂 😊
Yeah he's great
The FIYAAAH always makes me smile xD also the EGGIES
You have the most perfect smile when a recipe turns out better than you expected.
Very beautiful smile.. I believe..
He has an expression like, "why you wily little minx..."
That little ear movement really sells it.
@@Taolan8472 - YES! My hubby's ears do that. It's the best thing. Total dead giveaway to utter mouthgasm.
@@Taolan8472 right? I always watch for the ear raise. You know it’s good when his ear goes up.

We called them HAYSTACKS !! well my family did lolololol
Same... we substituted chow mein noodles with stick pretzels.
i find it funny how he almost always starts out with roasting the recipes (and the cooks that came up with them) only to find out it's delicious.
I think the samething. He has no idea how good some of those recipes are. Tried and true for decades! 😊
They are delicious I make them every Christmas my Gran called them Chinese New years cookies
Any of my fellow Aussies in the audience know that these are called "Chocolate Spiders" and they're a staple at kids' birthday parties.
Oh shit thank you
Heck yeah, these were great.
Yep! Except ours were not made with butterscotch chips. Instead, it was melted chocolate and Copha. (Eww!) but gosh, they’re good!
The rest of the audience knows Australia doesn't exist, nice try tho
What I came here to say
made these as a kid. we called them haystacks. loved them
I came here to say this!!! Haystacks! And they are pretty delicious. :)
Yes!! Haystacks!!
Same!
I've heard them as birds nests too
Whatever else they may be called, I call them scrumptious!
It's the little glimmer in his eyes and the way his ears perk up when he really likes something... This man's a precious bean and should be protected at all costs.
Shhhh the 2020's might hear you. They took enough treasures already.

Boldly and humbly admitting you were wrong while explaining your conversion, this is what legends are made of
I can’t help but feel so much joy when he tastes something odd and it turns out delicious. That’s true happiness right there.
The smile when it turns out way better then expected
These are always the best recipes
Yeah, I'm here for his expressive ears 😆
His facial expressions really show you right away if it's gonna be good or bad.
And sometimes he says “you’re not supposed to work”
the little ear raise
Someone from my church used to make these during the holidays. They were called "haystacks"
I made these once, but like rice crispy treats, and shaped them into nests, decorated with jelly bird eggs, and voila! Bird nests for Easter Treats! Cooking with odd components is so fun!
I was just going to say these are called haystacks!
my family calls something way different haystacks, pretty much just crushed chips with lettuce rice beans and whatever toppings you want
@@connormessenger4756 That sounds good.
my gramma has been making these since way before i was born in 1980. they're awesome! a family favorite every single year
I love watching these when you KNOW they’ll love it and I’m being that smug SOB who keeps thinking ‘Just you wait’.
The pause and followed by the mischievous grinch like grin is what I live for…😂😂😂
My mom was born in Memphis and she made them with just the butterscotch and called them "haystacks".
We used peanut butter chips and chocolate chips. We called them worms.
we called them birdnests
Butterscotch is the best with the thin noodle
Ya my baby sitter would make them for me the same way and also called them that and I’m Washington born and bred😊
Haha my mom made them and called them dirt cookies because the noodles look like worms and the chocolate looks like dirt
I love how expressive his whole face is, his smile starts in his ears and just spreads
Best comment
Dylan is pure sunshine!
And the best is when he thinks it isn't gonna be good. His expression goes from expecting disappointment, to confusion, to utter joy.
The man smiles like a Studio Ghibli character
@@victoriatowns9237 best description ever!
These are actually really really good. My Grandma use to make these but she used pecan pieces instead of peanuts.
Yes!!! We made these in the 70s..and they are addictive ❤
"Common sense says they shouldn't necessarily go together ...or do they?"
He's learned to hedge his bets.
I read this at the same time he said it and now I feel off
my family has been making these for years and we can them haystacks
Dylan’s “you’ve got to be f^cking kidding me this is good!???” smile gives me life.
The appearance of the dimple when the recipe is surprisingly good makes me smile every time. Thanks, Dylan!
I grew up on the other end of Tennessee, near Knoxville (Oak Ridge, specifically). We used to make these treats, but we called them bird's nest cookies. They are weirdly DELICIOUS! Thanks for the memories, B'Dylan❤️
Whenever Dylan’s eyes brighten after eating good food, it’s wholesome and priceless. 😂
And his ears lift!
It's the best when he shit talks the recipe the whole way through and then he gets that look like 'I can't believe this'
Dylan is generally wholesome and absolutely, perfectly priceless. ❤
I love his little smile as it forms when he realizes that the cookies were actually good.
I feel like I saw his ear rise with that, "eureka" moment.
His ears rising up is the best part
"actually"
yeah he's super cute and goofy with a great sense of humor
I gotta say it now, the cutest thing about the reactions is that when you smile, youe ears twitch and its strangley charming
I always love his moment of realization he has when the dish is weirdly good

@@yllom9667 you know the answer to this already lol Any guy that is watching a flamboyant gay man baking, then bashes on women in said creators comments is not... okay.
We made these as kids in the 90's. We called them bird nests, though.
We also called them bird nest. But we shapes ours into nests and nestled jelly beans in the cup of the shape to be the eggs in the nest
Yeah, I remember doing this. We would also use pretzel sticks if we didn't have chow mein.
We called them bird nests too, and added little candy coated chocolate eggs to the center.
@@wysestone We did it with shredded wheat when I was little for Easter, the eggs where chocolate mini eggs.
Came here to say the same! Jelly beans in the center, or Robin egg candies.
These were my dad's favorite when he was a kid! Hes been talking about them for years but still hasn't made them. Thanks to you i think I'll treat him to a taste 6 his childhood
"some crunch for your trauma"

Yes!! My Aunt used to use the stick pretzel’s instead of the noodles though, I used to love them!
Oh gosh yes, I remember that! But I haven’t seen it in forever!
I remember!! I’m so old!!
My mom used to use marshmallows like a noodle rice crispy treat and then put robins eggs on them ❤

Seeing your eyes light up when you like a weird recipe is adorable
Same thing with his ears, whenever he likes something you can see them perk up
It's the ear move when he smiles that gets me. It's like watching a puppy lmao pure seretonin
It truly is the greatest thing on earth. That looks of "this shouldn't taste as good as it does"
I learned this recipe in elementary school. Born in 1989, grew up in America. This made me smile.
I used to make these as a child. Thank you for the memories!
This man is just casually making the greatest cooking show of all time.
My grandma used to make these for Easter, shaped like a birds nest, with jelly eggs in them. I loved them.
They're really good with the cadbury mini eggs in them, you know the chocolate ones with the pastel candy shells.
You know, I was kind of thinking that they looked like a bundle of sticks.
My mom did too! She used almond bark.
I think they were pictured that way either in woman's day or family circle.
Yesss
I love how his face melts from absolute disgust and skepticism to absolute joy and acceptance in most of these videos lol

he is the only person who can convince me to entertain the idea of chocolate and noodles and i’m not complaining
Me either yoofa.

@@echowaves2028 yo! Same hat!! These were a treat around Easter time
@@echowaves2028 ~ That's where my mind went! Easter time favorites! Yum!
We make them with all butterscotch and call them haystacks.
He doesn't have to say a word. You know if he likes it or not by watching his eyes.
I watch his ears. When he loves something his ears raise up.
His ears indicate just how much he likes what he just tasted.
The little grin warms my heart
It's especially fun to watch when his eyes light up after tasting something he wasn't expecting to enjoy.

@Lori McEvoy same! I've never been more excited for something I rarely use! (I never use cookbooks.)
I always look at his ears to judge on whether i should try this stuff or not. Ears don't lie
Especially when it’s an obviously stupid recipe that everyone guesses won’t be good. It’s almost like we learn a secret from our elders.
These cookies were a staple in our house, especially around Christmas time. However, my Mom didn't put peanuts in them.
proof that chocolate fixes just about everything, in the right amount
I can't ever remember a recipe of his that uses chocolate that didn't come out good.
I remember these at bake sales growing up. I loved the flavor and texture combination.
Finally something I've made! I made these from a child cookbook that had a lot of no bake recipes. I found all the ingredients in the kitchen and put it together one evening. These are good.
As an American born Chinese kid, this isn’t a bad idea, but my Chinese ancestors are crying. 😂
They definitely put their leg down...
My vietnamese heritage ate broken-up dry ramen noodles with the powdered soup poured on top, so this is actually a step up.
Maybe they tried them and they're tears of joy? 😂
HAIYAAA
@@kurousagi1239 😅😅
We also called them haystack growing up. A family favorite for sure!
YYYAAAAASSSSS!!!! I was hoping someone else besides my old self remembered them as haystacks :)
Mine too! We never added chocolate though what a novel idea!
Me too! They never lasted long. I literally just bought some at a local market and was eating the last one when this came into my feed.
Yes they were haystacks in my area too
My mom used to make these for us in the 60s. We loved them. Mom was cool. ❤

90s here but they were a staple for Christmas cookie season in our house too

These are my absolute favorite family holiday cookie. We just do butterscotch chips and chowmein. Its soooo good.

they were so good!
Me to and I remember very well❤❤❤❤so so good❤❤

I remember these from the 50s!! Now I know how they were made!
I love how he angrily questions it in the beginning and accepts it without hesitation once he tastes it😂

Nah I think the pumpkin quickies were shorter.
Nothing better than your sudden realization that it's actually good!

We've eaten this in my family pretty much my whole life, I've also heard them called haystack cookies, bird nest cookies, reindeer poop cookies (during Christmas time). Never had them with peanuts though, have had them with mini marshmallows tho!

Ooooo❤️
My mother made these just using butterscotch chips over Christmas, and I could not NOT stay away from them, holy mother effin eff 🤤🤤🤤🤤🤤
That's how I knew them too. Can use peanut m&ms for eggs too.
Ohhhh thank you so much you just gave me a fantastic idea ❤️❤️❤️❤️
Wow cool!!!! 🥚🥚🥚🐦
It's a Holiday tradition in our family to make Haystacks (with cashews instead of peanuts). One of my favorites!! ❤️

The next time I make them I'm going to try it this way though, because I think I would prefer the chocolate and salty peanuts.
I also grew up calling them haystacks! Though my mom made a somehow even simpler version that was just chocolate and noodles, haha.
Yeah, the butterscotch/pb one is the one my grandma made! She also made Rice Crispy squares with the same mix and adding some marshmallows.
“Some crunch for your trauma” I’m dead 😂😂😂
my granny made these (im from NC) with just butterscotch and no peanuts and this recipe is literally pure childlike happiness for me
My brother used to make these when we were kids, minus the peanuts. I had forgotten all about them. Thank you for the reminder. ❤
We called them bird nests and had them at Easter with egg shaped chocolates on top. Still a favorite memory.
Literally what I was about to say
Same! I love home ec
