| - I love these date and nut bars. Please, bring some home and enjoy them with Earl Gray or Chai tea. Oh dates, why do I cherish thee? Well. Squeezed into these unpretentious little squares are the soft crunch of walnuts hugged by mildly sweet dates..creating a combination of a most craveable chew, best enjoyed between sips of creamed tea. The dates almost taste of chocolate. When I was a kid, we could only get these around holidays.. I cannot stress how special these are to me. Enjoy them morsel by morsel, a small bite at a time.
Handsome brought a bag of these date bars and a box of some Napoleons, something also known as "Mille Feuille" or a Thousand Pages in other places. What was special about these was a filling of choco-creme and layers that stayed wafery and delicate. Great with coffee. Case closed.
Next case.
If the question is where, my answer is
Presti's. For cannolis dark chocolate covered and satisfyingly crisp..these cannolis. These.
And Kolaches? Yes. Too. But only if you love me.
Sometimes, when faced with a great array of choices, we feel the pressure of making the right selection, no whammy.
This is how I feel when I find myself in a bakery, the one place I can see my food preassembled in decadent form. I wasn't there when Handsome chose this home-run combination. I could only imagine what it must've been like, eyes darting about, aiming to please...
Well, Bullseye.
Five stars.. because the last parcel that came from here was everything I could've ever ever wanted.
