I am looking for assorted cookies or chocolates that are local. Think on the level of John and Kira's Seasonal Chocolate Ganache filled Fig "Pumpkins", Dancing Deer Cats and Bats Cookies, Vosages Glitter Eye Skulls, etc. Those all all available mail order, great, but I want local fare. There must be something cool like that in this Chowhound mecca! http://www.johnandkiras.com/site/Welcome_business.htm http://www.dancingdeer.com/ http://www.vosgeschocolate.com/product/day_of_the_dead_skulls/1 Thu Oct 18 12:50:23 -0700 2007 127516 foodforus 1 3047563 boule Thu Oct 18 14:28:18 -0700 2007 3047154 21946 Bugg Superstar 1 3047611 May I suggest a "best in class" item from the Enstrom candy company at www.enstrom.com. Specifically, their almond toffee which in addition to 1lb, 2lb and 5lb boxes also comes individually wrapped in "squares", 36 packages to a box, $41.50 + shipping. This almond toffee is their signature item and is the most amazing confection you could possibly eat. Thu Oct 18 14:46:03 -0700 2007 3047154 66416 orythedog 2 3049612 Thanks for the suggestions. I love Boule but haven't seen anything seasonal there -Clementine has just the cookies, etc. I was looking for. Fri Oct 19 09:45:07 -0700 2007 3047611 127516 foodforus 3 3050338 Excellent. Can you offer any further details of what they have? I am also looking for some special Halloween treats!

The cookies are cute! http://www.clementineonline.com/ Fri Oct 19 12:42:17 -0700 2007 3050338 127516 foodforus 3 3050422 that is really weird, the other day there was halloween stuff... Fri Oct 19 12:55:21 -0700 2007 3049612 21946 Bugg Superstar 1 3049955 FYI, I saw the Vosges skulls at Alcove Cafe in Los Feliz last week. Joan's on Third also has candy corn and I think some other Halloween treats.

I particularly recall their petit fours being exceptionally cute for Easter, so much so that my 5-year old daughter didn't want to eat the "Easter Bunny" because "I don't want to hurt her..."
