I'm SO glad you enjoyed the package... Sorry it took so long to get to you, but I was trying to track down the maple candy for you! Worth the wait, I hope!
I have to point out the intentional Canadian-ness of the treats... I saw that you liked the maple candy, which is oh-so Canadian, and the Rogers cremes are from a company originating in Victoria, B.C. in 1885. So the chocolate coins... CANADIAN MONEY!!! (yes, I'm a proud Canadian girl... we do the best stuff with sugar here!)
LOL :) I got the "Canadian-ness" of the treats... forgot to mention that the coins were CAN currency. It was all definitely worth the wait!
I love my friends up north for their inventiveness with the chocolate and sugar! (and thanks for not bursting my bubble about the streets being paved with maple sugar candy.... I have a few real life Canadian friends who assure me that your road surfaces are the same as here in the States but I refuse to beleive it). :o)
hmmm... nothing like a good canuck package of treats, is there? and of course the streets are paved it maple... and we can ski all year round... (okay - yeah i'm joking.) aside from your love of maple, tell us a bit more about you because TAG you're it! rules over at my blog. : )
Check out this bounty: Lana Grossa AND Cherry Tree Hill sock yarn (the colors make me drool!) along with a sock pattern. The Spring Issue of IW Knits (its in the pic but I think I put the sock pattern on top!). I also got a little notebook, some Burt's Bees goodies (i ♥ Burt and his wonderful products!), a sticky note pad shaped like an "S" (shameless self-promotion is ALWAYS a good thing - LOL!), a spool of sheep ribbon (perfect for the gift wrapping and adornment of hand knit gifts, right?!) and a sweet little sheep ornament.
And then there is the candy. This woman is my hero. She got me MAPLE SUGAR CANDY. Its not pictured of course because I ripped into it as soon as I opened the package (its not all gone yet but it will be soon). I like to think the streets of Canada are paved in Maple Sugar Candy.... I know... its insane.... but a girl can have her fantasies, ok???!!! She also sent milk chocolate coins which are always appreciated. And. Then. There are the Roger's Chocolates.
They are pictured at the bottom of the photo - the 2 pink bundles. Oh. My. God. I haven't eated the Blueberry one yet but the Maple one met its end shortly after I took the picture. I did some internet research and learned they are "Victoria Creams". Holy moly. These little treats must be descended from heaven. Seriously. I was in love with See's Candies for so very long. But these guys are more than 3 times the size of one of See's soft centers. Ahhhhhh.....
Ok, enough waxing poetic about chocolate candies. Thanks so much, Miss Ewe! You are my hero! :o)
