Eat with your Eyes: ClaireSquares

On a cold winter morning we can all use a little toasty comfort.

ClaireSquares are a triple layer sandwich starting with a block of buttery shortbread, a layer or chewy caramel and a thick topping of dark chocolate. It was a big three inch by four inch block.

I don’t consider them candy, but I do pronounce them tasty and satisfying. I picked this one up at BiRite Market in San Francisco. Photo of package plus view the website here.

Hmm, this is a really common sweet in Australia - we just call them Caramel Slices, or Choc-Caramel Slices. Of course, this looks miles better than many of the kinds I’ve come across in my life!

Mmmm, sounds kind of like a gourmet Twix bar.

These look scrumptious! Will have to look for them in the stores!
