Editor notes - ELmers Candy Company in New Orleans, LA makes the only retail heavenly hash candy. "ELMER CANDY COMPANY IS A LOUISIANA TRADITION. INFACT.ELMER IS TH EOLDEST FAMILY-OWNED CHOCOLATE COMPANY IN THE U-S." per the advocate. One year I really wanted a heavely hash candy but could not find any. I was living out of state and called some of my friends to see if they could find me any....I ended up with 8 boxes 24 each of this delectable candy. Now if ELmers runs out I can make my own.
 
Ingredients
1 package small marshmallow 3 cups sugar
3 tbsp cocoa powder 1 tbsp Karo syrup
1 cup milk 1 cup pet milk
1/2 stick butter (4 Tblsp) 1 jar marshmallow creme
1 cup toasted almonds (optional)  
 
Directions
Place the package of marshmallows (and optional toasted almonds) into a buttered pan into small lumps. In a medium heavy duy pot, combine and cook the sugar, cocoa powder, Karo, and the two milks. Cook until it forms a soft ball; remove from the fire and add the butter and marshmallow creme. Blend thoroughly. Pour on top of the marshmallows. Cut in squares when cooled and set.
To test for soft ball stage: Use fresh cold water each time you test the candy. In about 1 cup of cold water, spoon about 1/2 teaspoon of hot candy. Put your hand into the water and push the candy to form a ball. Gently pick the formed ball up (if it will not form a ball, it is not done) - the soft ball will flatten slightly when removed from water.
