When asked what the shopkeeper would recommend, they mentioned the cookies--specifically the pecan one. This fell short of my expectations.
However, I did not want to abandon Almond Butterfly because there MUST be a reason that this is a long-standing institution. Today, under utterly abysmal conditions of slush, rampant hail, and unforgiving winds... I swung by and decided on the
DATE SQUARE.
This will now be my chosen destination for Date Squares. Slightly sweet (naturally so!) but also savoury (!!) with enough heft thanks to the oatmeal folded into this treat. Yelp Friends: this was truly wonderful--give 'er a try!
