Hawaiian Haystacks {recipe}

I stumbled across this recipe a few weeks ago on Pinterest.

It was long, cold, and snowy winter, and when I saw the word Hawaiian, it took me back to our warm vacations there.

I loved going to the Hawaii.  The beaches, the food, the weather, the laid back attitude of the locals . . . there is truly no place like it.

I made the Hawaiian Haystacks Monday and I really enjoyed it.  The kids loved putting their own toppings on.

 You can click {here} for the original recipe from Capturing Joy.

But first here are my notes about this recipe:

(1) I forgot to serve the soy sauce . . . and I didn't miss it.

(2) It made a LOT of Chicken sauce.  I would reduce that by almost half next time.

(3) I used Coconut Flavored Sliced Almonds - yum!

(4) After searching other Hawaiian Haystack recipes, I discovered there are a ton of other toppings you can use that sound great and can't wait to try next time:

Mandarin Oranges

Peppers (green, red, orange, yellow)

Sliced Mushrooms

Sliced Green Onions

Then there are other toppings that don't sound quite as yummy:

Sliced Black Olives

Chopped Tomatoes

Peas

Seriously, I LOVE olives, tomatoes and peas. But on this?  It just doesn't sound good to me.
