Basler Lackerli [General]
2009 Jan 15
Nice gift, SweetTooth! I'm always craving Läckerli -- if I lived in the Candy Store neighbourhood I'd be all over your generous offer.
My mom makes Basler-Läckerli every Christmas (along with a dozen or so other Swiss cookies) and always sends us some. For those who are new to these treats, I can best describe them as a very chewy honey gingerbread kind of cookie. They contain nuts (almonds) and sometimes contain candied fruit peel. Most awesome if you like the typical German aromatic cinnamony nutty sort of flavours.

Hmmm hmmm hmmm... I'm just imagining a jingle, that an American company might make for the most excellent confections I've just received from Sweet Tooth, that go by the name Basler-Läckerli. I even shared one with my boss (who is Swiss) and he got this very nostalgic look on his face, and asked where I found them. I started to tell him the story of this girl I met on the Internet, but I don't think he believed me ;-) Thanks Sweet Tooth.
