First Frango

For Christmas, my sweet sister sent us down a box of Frango mints. For those of you unfamiliar with these treats, they are chocolate truffles sold in the Northwest (and I've heard Midwest too?!) only at Christmas time. They used to be made by a company called Frederick & Nelson's, which had a big downtown department store we used to visit at Christmas time. There was an old-fashioned soda shop in the basement that made all kinds of delectable Frango goodies. Anyhoo, they are a happy holiday memory for me, so I was really excited to have a box here.



We let Addie try her first Frango after dinner one night, and she of course, gave us a large and dramatic reaction to show her pleasure with the treat.
