Hawaiian Haystacks

This has been around for a long time so I just assumed everyone knew how to make it. Then my cousin posted on Facebook for people to tell her what they put on theirs. Well it turns out a lot of the comments that she got were "What is Hawaiian Haystacks". This is a family must. It is so easy and every mom should have it in her back up. The best part is you can make it for 2-99. It is such an easy recipe. I hope you enjoy them as much as we do. All the flavors just pop in your mouth. Mmmm goodness!

4-6 cups cooked rice
2 celery ribs
1 green pepper
2-3 green onions
1-2 tomatoes
1 cup shredded carrots
1 small can pineapple tidbits
2 cups grapes halved

1/2 cup slivered almonds
1/2 cup coconut
