This week has been delicious! We got a bunch of Whimsy & Spice goodies in the mail, and we've been tearing through them. Last night, I devoured the most delicious espresso dulce de leche brownie, and Alex had a hazelnut chocolate whisky sandwich. Yum. (I'm going to send these instead of flowers for my friends' upcoming birthdays.)What's your favorite dessert?
