Created at the height of the depression in California, Rocky Road has come to mind watching the past year of news. Between the GOP-tax plan, Russian scheming in America's election, and a president who often seems unhinged, this desert seems a way to "fahget abbout it" with a luscious sweet. Okay, it won't solve reactionary politicians in power but it sure reminds you there's still much of life to be enjoyed. Fluffy marshmallows, toasted almonds and chocolate ice cream; in those moments of delight, Donald Trump is sequestered far away, stewing in his own hell. The world is not just safe or blessed, it's wonderfully delicious. Try this confectionary mix to drown out the noise.
