Sweet Tooth Monday

I don't really consider myself a die hard sugar lover. Generally, I prefer savory over sweet, but occasionally (like today) I'm craving sugary, yummy, homemade sweet treats. Now, I've bought A LOT of things on Etsy, but I've never purchased anything edible. When searching for items to indulge my cravings, I was pleasantly surprised to find an amazing amount of incredible creations. I'd be more than happy to receive any of these as a stocking stuffer (B, are you reading, please hunny, I really would like some macarons?)

    I never knew that existed! I am NOT a big chocolate fan, but good caramel and I'm there in a heartbeat. Those caramels look delish! And so do several of those truffles. Mouth watering now.

    I have not taken that dive yet but, I was spying the "City Caramels" site on etsy...good packaging and narrows down the selection with a sampler box.

    No edibles yet, but you are really making me think of doing so as a holiday tryout! I don't like to think about it, but I am a chocoholic.

    I found a recipe last year for making sea salt caramels. I think I'll give them a whirl this year just because of the photo you posted!

    DESPERATE to get my hands on a pumpkin pie truffle, although possibly less so if there were to be a Christmas post delay thing...

    Oh my! Those pumpkin pie truffles look particularly tempting. I bought whoopie pies and chocolate chip cookies from etsy seller BrokenRoadFarm, and they were absolutely amazing! Sadly, I don't think she sells the whoopie pies anymore :(
