JUST LIKE HEAVEN’LY HASH
It wasn’t too long ago when heavenly hash was popular as rocky road. The basis of the two flavors is primarily the same: chocolate, almonds and marshmallow. Overtime, heavenly hash suspiciously slipped out of our mainstream consciousness with rocky road proving victorious. It’s rumored to believe that the celestial flavor can only be found within the Bible belt on account the name took on socio-political interference; the growing doubt being that heaven may or may not exist. One bite of my Just Like Heavenly Hash and you may very well believe that it does…gastronomically of course. Strange as angels, I know.
