While shopping in Montreal, watching my wallet bleed faster than it could clot, I figured I may as well indulge in some sinfully sweet treats. My girlfriend, who is a montreal native, pointed me in the direction of the sweet factory (which we have here in the states, mind you). In that same shop was a Monsieur Flelix & Mr Norton cookie counter (which we sadly don't have in the states). Encased in glass were cookies perfuming the immediate area with that freshly baked calorie-laden smell.
I had already decided to save room in my suitcase so I could shop for canada-only snacks and dammit I was going to make room for these cookies also.
I got three of each: menage a trois (milk, white and dark choc), macadamia & white choc, pralines & cream, milk chocolate chunk, vanilla white chocolate, amaretto, nutcracker sweet (almonds, pecans, hazelnuts and walnuts and dark chocolate).
They arrange the cookies in a very cute, and very giftable white box. One negative, is that they're a wee-bit pricey, but hey I was already bleeding cash anyway.
Obviously, my sampler didn't make it home untouched. I had my share of tastes here and there, and found my favorites to be the menage a trois, amaretto and the nutcracker sweet.
Great cookie combinations, bite-after-bite delicious, a bit heavy on the pockets, but overall, still a sweet deal.
