Yes, I know Valentine’s Day is over. Bear with me as I relish the memories of a package full of delectable treats which more than made the day weekend! Thank you, Yummy Affair! The sampler was amazing!

I should have taken a photo of the gorgeous packaging before opening the box, but hey… There were mouth-watering munchables in there and my palate was screaming at me to let them out!

Have you ever had Biscotti Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies for breakfast? Hah! You don’t know what you’re missing! This is seriously the best Biscotti I’ve ever had. There’s been Biscotti with great flavor but gnaw-able like dog biscuits, Biscotti with just-right crunchiness but not quite there with the flavor, and then all the in-between Biscotti. Well, this Biscotti is perfect crunchiness with chocolatey-almondy goodness that doesn’t lack anything. It. Is. To. Die. For.

The Biscotti was immediately followed by Chocolate Hazelnut Heart Cookies. Oh. Oh. OH! The perfect blend of the richness of chocolate and hazelnut. I could eat these non-stop (okay, I did…). Hazelnut Heaven!

Coffee Vanilla Cookies are not just for coffee. I just had to brew up some tea to see how the cookies’ subtle flavor would compliment. What an amazing combination – just Yum! I don’t keep ice cream around, but they’re a perfect match with some creamy yogurt. I bet these cookies would be delicious with anything.

I take back what I said in my other post about maybe making lemon bars again. After indulging in melt-in-your-mouth Lemon Heart Cookies, there’s no way my lemon bars will ever pass. These cookies are fairly bursting with fresh, tangy, lemony goodness. Oh my.

Last – but in no way least – were the Pecan Nuts, Honey, Lemon Cookies Baklava. An indescribably scrumptious blend of pecans, honey and lemon layered with light, flaky phyllo pastry. Moist, Flavorful, Heavenly!

It’s been a week since this decadent indulgence, but writing about these treats brings back the distinct flavor and texture of each bite. Truly Unforgettable Goodness.

Yummy Affair “An Affair You Will Never Regret”.

Go there. Now. Treat yourself to a Truly First-rate Experience. They’ve added more variety since my first post, so there’s sure to be something that trips your drool trigger :-)

Order for yourself as a treat, or for others as a gift. The packaging is beautiful and gift-ready.

I’ve never ordered food online before. That will be changing.
There’s actually quite a number of edibles sold on Etsy, but I’ve not seen any so tempting as what Yummy Affair offers.

(See below this Etsy Mini for excerpts from Yummy Affair’s descriptions.)

Lemon Heart Cookies
“Buttery shortbread crust and delicate filling, bursting with lemon scent and flavor, and sprinkled with confectioner’s sugar.”

Oh, I can taste them! I want! These remind me of lemon bars I used to make. Might have to pick up that habit again, though these cookies sound (and look!) much better…

Biscotti Dark Chocolate Almond Cookies
“Toasted to perfection almonds and rich European chocolate are just a few of the reasons why our Chocolate Almond Biscotti Cookies are so irresistibly good. Twice-baked to reach that unmistakable crunchiness, they are a perfect compliment to your favorite hot beverage or just by themselves.”

Yes! I don’t often have the chance to enjoy Biscotti (never tried to make it myself), and tend to pig on it when it’s set within reach… I’ll take a couple pounds of this, please :-)

Chocolate Hazelnut Heart Cookies
“An unforgettable treat consisting of rich dark chocolate and delicately roasted hazelnuts will leave your taste buds begging for more.”

Hazelnut anything is to die for! Oh my. I would have to hoard these cookies, not tell anyone.

Pecan Nuts, Honey, Lemon Cookies Baklava
“Thin layers of phyllo pastry, lots of pecans that add a toasty flavor, and honey based syrup with citrusy twist.”

Oh. My. God. I want. Now. The drool is out of control.

I’ve got to go find something to eat… And you, dear reader, click on over to Yummy Affair and get your order in!

Spins and Spirals Treasury on Etsy

My Coro Fur Clip made it into a treasury, curated by Yummy Affair! It’s an alternate, which means it will come up if something in the current display sells.

Thank you, Yummy Affair, for a great birthday present :-) I will be sharing your mouth-watering shop tomorrow. Folks, be prepared to drool!

I posted about this fur clip recently: 1950 Coro Fur Clip

Here’s the treasury, Spins and Spirals:
