tastes: Milk Candy

My new favorite treat can be acquired, thank goodness, not far from where I live. It's a perfect combination of milk and toasted almond and reminds me of one of my favorite ice cream recipes. Such wholesome flavors, I fool myself that they are actually nutritious! The sweet little individual wrappers are decorated with cow spots and cartoon cows in muted colors. I get mine by the bag ($2.50 for 10 pieces) at the 101 Bakery in Boston's Chinatown. In addition to my favorite candies, they also have a wide array of sweet and savory treats, charmingly efficient displays, and irresistible individual cakes.
