Last Minute Sweets for the Foodies Who Have Everything

I’ve been remiss in my gift giving suggestery. All this hall decking and fa-la-la – ing is keeping me from my laptop, which really isn’t a bad thing when you think about it. However, Diana sent me a note today suggesting I post something because her busy-ness is more important than my busy-ness and I’m obliged to oblige. Besides, I feel bad for her because our parents loved me best.

I have a couple of cool gift suggestions for folks who enjoy their just desserts. Mind you, I do have to get my disclaimer on and advise you that I’ve received samples in exchanged for me getting my review on, but that doesn’t mean I won’t be honest in my findings. Allow me to share:

Baklava and Enrobed Macroons with Almonds from Sinbad Sweets

I still haven’t come down off the sugar high I obtained after enjoying the Baklava. Ooey and gooey, they’re everything good baclava should be. I always found these Greek pastries to be a little on the sweet side so I brought them to my husband’s family Thanksgiving dinner and they were enjoyed by all.

We sampled two different types of baklava. The traditional, be-triangled variety and mini chocolate drizzled squares. So yummy.

Also popular were the Enrobed Macaroons with Almonds except I didn’t share them as much. I love coconut and coconut and chocolate is simply decadence. I let the inlaws share a couple, but I hoarded most for myself. Whereby I immediately went into sugar shock followed by a week straight on the treadmill.

Each set of treats arrived in an elegant gold box. Simply tie a ribbon and you’re good to go.
