These may seem like kind of a ‘duhhh, what’s so special about these?!‘ post, but believe you me… these are GEMS for sending via mail, or to bring along with you to work for an after-work dinner party. Heading to your cousin’s house 6 hours away? Make these the morning you leave and they’ll keep – stay moist, and will be a welcomed treat beside the veggie platter.
