Easter Gift Idea; Coffee & Toffee!

First off, let me confirm for an emailer who asked if I’d tried the Irish Cream coffee from Mystic Monks (see their ad at my right sidebar): yes, hellyes, the Mystic Monk Irish Cream coffee is delicious – very smooth. I bought some as a St. Patrick’s Day gift and of course had to get some for myself, and I’m enjoying a cup right now.

I’m not a big fan of flavored coffees (except Hazelnut as an “after supper”) but this is very tasty stuff, indeed. I don’t know what the deal is with these monks, but the coffee has no bitterness at all.

Having given up sugar in my coffee and tea for Lent, it almost feels like I’m cheating with this stuff, because it’s so smooth I don’t miss the sweetening at all.

Meanwhile, Pal Shana has directed me to this family-run toffee maker and this stuff looks…just teeth-rottingly good. If you like buttery toffee, I am assured this gang has a world-class recipe, and of course I must do the research for you, mustn’t I? This article on the stuff sounds promising.

I guess my in-law’s Easter basket, which was going to contain just coffee and my homemade Easter bread, just got a little heavier!
