Why I bought it: The cutest name in the world plus the most dangerous looking florentine cookies I've ever seen equaled a surefire impulse buy.

Tasting notes: Holy Mary, butter of God!

Would I buy it again? Yes, but at almost $14 for six of these, I will probably need to pick up a few more writing gigs first to afford this expensive habit.

What other blogs/sites thought of it: Maryanne of Foodandhome.com remembers a time when Clarine made these "fabulous treats" only for her friends and family and is proud to see her take it to the next level.
