Italian butterhorns, plantain chips, cinnamon almond granola and ginger snapdragons


The great bounty from this month's Foodzie tasting box.


Italian butterhorns! I've got to make these.

My Foodzie tasting box arrived a few days ago and I haven't really given it proper attention.

Today I dove into the Italian butterhorns, these are a very light rolled cookie with cinnamon. It's one of the best cookies I have ever tasted, so I'm determined to make them one of these days. Here's a recipe I just found on the internet http://www.associatedcontent.com/article/1198757/homemade_christmas_cookies_butter_horns.html.

Or, you might just want to order them from the Foodzie folks at http://cicisbutterhorns.foodzie.com/, I'm thinking this would be convenient for gift giving, especially to my bro and sis-in-law who live in California.

Other items in my Foodzie box this month are ginger snapdragons - get them here http://www.lizlovely.com/, cinnamon almond granola from http://www.fionasgranola.com/good.html and finally plantain chips from these guys http://estrellitassnacks.com/. I haven't tried the snapdragons or the granola yet but if appearances mean anything, they will be delicious. I have munched a bit on the plantain chips (with a nut brown ale) and they are not too sweet, crispy and lightly salted. I would buy them or give them as a gift.

Foodzie is cool. You can look on their website and see where stuff is made near you so you don't have to order too far from home (if you don't want to). The tasting box is $19.99 each month and includes postage. It is a fun way to try stuff you might not buy for yourself, but you might start buying it after trying it.
