Caffreys Confectionery

During the week I published a post gushing about the wonders of Wilton Macaroon bars and Mint crisps.

In the interest of fairness I would now like to highlight another small independent confectionery company here in Ireland. Caffreys chocolates have been with us since the 1930s.

By far their most established product is the Snowball, a soft gooey sugar centre covered in a thin layer of chocolate and then rolled in desiccated coconut.
Yum, perfect with a biter cup of coffee.

'A Wilton Product'

Today was a good day.

Today, not only did I enjoy a Macaroon Bar, but I also indulged in a Klipso bar. It was good, very very good.

Unfortunately they no longer cost 10p but the still taste as good as they did back in the 90s.

For those of you unfamiliar with Macaroon Bars of Mint Crisps I recommend you get yourself acquainted with them here.
Or if you are in the Limerick area, they are available in the ULSU spar here in the University of Limerick.

Ummm.. tasty tasty, and for the princely sum of 30c a bar.

'French' Sweets

I had the opportunity this past weekend to savour the delights of the Rose of Tralee festival.
Imagine my delight on seeing such a display of pick and mix sweets at the French Market.
I so love pick and mix! It totally brightened up a damp day in Tralee (it always seems to rain on poor Kerry)
