Baker Maid:
Almond Toffee Crunch Cookies & Lime Cookies
We were happy that these addictive toffee cookies are small—because we could eat several at a clip. They’re not too sweet and just right for every purpose, from a coffee break for adults to deserving a cookie snack with milk for the younger snack. They’re also available in an assortment, either in a beautiful fabric-covered keepsake box.

Baker Maid:
Mini Fruitcake Slices
Miniature slices (three bites) of light or dark fruitcake (we prefer the light) preserve a Christmas tradition while giving everyone just a taste of this dense treat, laden with candied fruit. Individually-wrapped slices can be easily dispensed to co-workers. The keepsake tin is a second gift that remains when the fruitcake is gone.

Laceys Cookies:
Chocolate Almond & Milk Chocolate Macadamia
If you come across these milk chocolate macadamia toffee or dark chocolate almond toffee wafers at club stores, grab them. They’re a terrific value in the box, and a bit more expensive in the gift tin when sold online. Crisp almond cookies sandwiched chocolate and coated with soft toffee, they are a special-occasion treat.
