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:

Mini chocolate baclava

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.macaroons

    Obviously my sister was on a sugar high during parts of this review. She definitely got more attention from our parents, because it took that much more to bring her down to earth. I’m gladddd you enjoyed all those sweets that you told me nothing about until now. Probably you were keeping them all to yourself.
