Honeydukes Treats


Sam here to show off the huge variety of treats from our Honeydukes snack cart.  It being December, and thus Christmas, we asked for a giant pile of peppermint candy.


The glass jar is actually from a tiny Yankee Candle Company candle.  It's also the perfect size to store our stash of ribbon candy.  And the human managed to find some super tiny (1" square) ziploc bags for all the tiny peppermints.  The peppermints come in red, green, and super swirly.  (They were totally not made with random bits of clay left over from making ribbon candy.  Nope.)


Here it is super close up for scale.  The ribbon candy actually comes in three different patterns, and so do the candy canes.


Then we've got some butter and chocolate cookies.  The human always stockpiles Danish butter cookies during the holidays, so we figured we should too.


We also got some new petit fours with a fleur-de-lis decoration and matching pastel macarons.


For the Honeydukes specialties, we have a set (many sets, really) of wizard snacks with a cauldron cake, a pumpkin pastie, and a pair of chocolate frogs (milk and dark chocolate, thank you very much).


And finally, we have a trio of Christmas themed macarons.  The red and green macarons have a white cream filling, and the swirl macaron has a chocolate filling.  Now we just need the human to sit down and watch the Great British Bake Off for more inspiration for more food for us.  I still want a full afternoon tea menu with scones and finger sandwiches.

  1. Wow ... I wish I could make little treats so well! They're so detailed! (And your human isn't the only one who stockpiles Danish butter cookies, although I like them year-round, and it helps that I can find them for £1 per tin of 20!)
