HAYSTACKS (OR CHINESE SUNDAES)
This is a fun meal, just add rolls or bread and a green salad if desired. My kids love this! This recipe adjusts easily for large or small groups, just cook enough rice for about 1 cup cook rice per person. Yes, this can be considered "retro". I didn't post this as an "asian" or "chinese" dish. It definitely is not for sophisticated palates! It just is a fun way to get my kids to eat some veggies, and it is easy!

Tips:
- Choose fresh and high-quality ingredients: Use fresh fruits, vegetables, and nuts for the best flavor and texture. Opt for high-quality chocolate and ice cream to elevate the dessert.
- Prepare the ingredients in advance: Chop the fruits and vegetables, measure the ingredients, and set up the toppings before assembling the haystacks. This will make the process smoother and faster.
- Chill the ice cream: Make sure the ice cream is well-chilled before assembling the haystacks. This will help prevent it from melting too quickly.
- Use a variety of toppings: Don't limit yourself to just a few toppings. Offer a variety of options such as chopped nuts, candies, whipped cream, and chocolate sauce. This will allow everyone to customize their haystack to their liking.
- Serve immediately: Haystacks are best enjoyed immediately after they are assembled. The ice cream will start to melt and the toppings will become soggy if they sit for too long.
