Another Taste of Hawaii

Along with the durian chips mentioned a few days ago, my dear friend Angela sent me these coconut and macadamia nut balls. I was afraid they'd have a texture too similar to gumdrops (which I dislike), but though they were chewy they were not as artificial, granular, or sugar-coated. They did taste like coconut, too, which is always a nice touch. I detected no macadamia nut in some of them, and just a little nut in others, but that didn't bother me much.

If you like Mounds bars, or are otherwise a sweetened coconut fan, keep an eye out for these.

Angela, I finally tried them! Here's proof!

Oh, Angela, you've been so patient. I'm sorry it took me this long to get a little tipsy and try the durian chips you sent me. Did you have some? They taste/feel like sweet french fried onions. And they smell like weirdsville. Thanks!

No, thank YOU!

I got a surprise thank-you gift at work the other day from a sweet and thoughtful coworker. Her latest project had to do with Hawaii, and the gift was a canister of Kona Coffee Glazed Macadamias.



I'm not much of a coffee drinker, but they were delicious. I made sure to share the wealth with people around the office when I opened the gift, but I could easily have eaten all six suggested servings myself. They seemed decadent, each one balanced slightly differently between coffee and nut flavors.



I think I'm going to need to find more of these, but without the gift-giver around regularly (to ask) I am stumped as to their source. Where in NYC do you think I could buy them? I may have to order them online.
