Hawaiian Haystacks

The first time I ever had Hawaiian Haystacks was about six months ago. I was pretty skeptical about them, because the thought of eating cream of chicken soup mixed only with chicken broth isn't very appealing to me. However, after I tried them, I fell in love. It's a very fresh meal, and once you add all the toppings, the blend of flavors is divine. The best part is that you can leave whatever do don't want out and you don't have to go by the amounts here. You just make enough for your family.
