Meet your new favorite sweet treat, the coconut haystack!
I was first introduced to haystacks when I was working at Breathe. My friend Josiah reassured me that they're super easy to make and so I gave them a try and they've been a favorite ever since. Usually I hand roll them into balls but the guys had an extra ice cube tray so I tried pressing them into the tray this time and I LOVE IT! Makes me want to go to Ikea (when I get back on the mainland) and buy some of their shapes trays!
