Pass ingredients around and have everyone ‘pile’ onto the center of their plate in the order listed above.  Keep in mind that you will have a fairly large ‘mound’ by the time you are finished.

This was served to us at an Amish home and enjoyed by everyone (about 60 of us).  I’ve found other recipes online for Amish Haystacks that call for other ingredients so you could add or subtract ingredients to your liking as well.
