Dare I say dupe!?

I may or may not buy an entire box for myself (and myself only).

They’re so sophisticated that people will assume you bought them at an upscale confectioner (wink).

They’re wonderful on their own, but also make a fun addition to a cheese board.

If you’re a bubbly drinker like me, pair them withsparkling winefor a decidedly posh snack.

Keep extra boxes on handyou’ll go through them quickly.
