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.
