HAYSTACKS
I have made these cookies for my family for about 30 years now. My son (who is now 36 years old) gets so excited when I make these; he always enjoys them with a tall glass of milk. I find that I have to be careful when melting the butterscotch because it seems to scorch easily, so take care - this is an essential ingredient! Also, these are best enjoyed in the winter because they seem to melt and not taste as great in the warmer weather.

Steps:
- Mix soup and milk together. Then add in shredded chicken. Heat and stir until well blended.
- Have 4 cups of warm cooked rice in a bowl. Everyone can scoop out their rice and then ladle the chicken soup mixture over the rice.
- Have all the other ingredients in bowls. Then add all other toppings to your haystack. This is a great way to introduce your kids to new foods and vegetables. I like bell peppers, tomatoes, green onions, olives, chow mein noodles, and coconut on mine.
