Homemade Hawaiian Haystacks

We made these for dinner a little while ago with Mike and Jenna and they were delicious. I love Hawaiin Haystacks and i love how easy they are but i forget about them a lot. I usually just use cream of chicken soup for the sauce but i found this recipe for ones with a homemade chicken gravy and it was SO yummy. So i wanted to share it in case you forgot about Hawaiian haystacks too.
