How I Celebrated

Of course I had to try a version of the chocolate haupia pie. It was a straight haupia mix, so it was probably more on the jello like side than the creamy side. Also, the pudding was just pudding so it was a bit more runny than a thick chocolate cream pie filling.Still delicious, still the best.
