However not difficult to do if you treat yourself all the time with cookies made here with the cutest designs! This particular trip, I was getting some lavender for making lavender simple syrup. If this is not known, not all lavender plants are culinary lavender, Milly's sells culinary lavender! It smells so good and fresh.

We discovered Cuccidati Inc. at last weekend's fresh-air Valentine's Day Market at Buffalo Artisan…read moreFood Traders. Cuccidati Inc. had a booth at the event ... and they had me at the word "cuccidati". :-D LOVE these cookies! If you are unfamiliar, cuccidati are iced-and-sprinkled fig-filled Italian cookies. They're like a soft, delectable, gourmet, top-shelf, high-class, prettier Fig Newton, but way better, haha. Whenever I see an Italian cookie spread at a gathering, I always b-line for dibbs on the cuccidati. And Cuccidati Inc.'s cuccidati did not disappoint! These were a bit different from cuccidati I've had before. They weren't quite as sweet, not as thick-white of an icing as usual. And the filling seemed more natural, like more purely fig, as opposed to the more artificial extract flavor of some cuccidati. I do like the creamier cuccidati filling I'm used to, with more of a jam consistency. But these were good too, you could feel chewy bits of real fig fruit in each bite. If you prefer a cookie that isn't too rattle-your-teeth-sweet, you will probably enjoy Cuccidati Inc.'s cookies very much. We spoke with the owners when we were at the fresh-air market, and they were very sweet and friendly. They of course bake their namesake, but also bake many other cookies too. They don't have their own storefront, they sell by order, or at local venues and events. They are on the shelves at Buffalo Artisan Food Traders (https://www.yelp.com/biz/buffalo-artisan-food-traders-buffalo), so if you have a hankering for some delicious cuccidati, stop by there to grab a pack. Or check Cuccidati Inc.'s Facebook page for other upcoming local appearances - https://www.facebook.com/cuccidati.org - and mangia! :-D

It's even better than the local chocolate shop in depew- Not only is it better, they also have smaller portions so you don't have to buy a mega bunch. The inside of the store is like - well, I felt like a kid in a candy shop- ( pun intended). They have everything you'd need ! It also looked like there is an online area where you can prepay online and pick up quickly in store. There's a decent size parking lot too. The prices are comparable to all others, however, like I said before you can buy a smaller prepackaged size for your personal needs .
