it seems the magical cookie elves (no, not the Keebler elves...different elves...migrant elves...possibly Mexican or South American) have harvested, boxed and shipped the delightful little chocolate covered parcels of joy to our local supermarkets.
did you not know they were seasonal? me neither, 'til about 2 years ago when CawfeeMate and i went into King Kullen looking for a box to satisfy my genetically predisposed addiction* to them and the manager told me that they weren't "in season" and then suggested the (apparently hot house grown) Pinwheels** or Whippets, instead. But, to paraphrase My Cousing Vinny, no self-respecting Mallomar fan would ever settle for a Pinwheel or a Whippet. It's like Oreos vs Hydrox, Boar's Head vs Oscar Meyer bologna, or Kylie vs Dannii Minogue; a pale imitation of true quality which rarely satisfies.
anyway, relish these fall and winter months, my friends, and indulge.if you've never tried a Mallomar, i suggest picking up a box and savoring the just-picked and always fresh taste. afterward, i'll meet you at Costco to stock up for the off-season.
*my dad is a Mallomars fiend and has been known to (happily) receive boxes of them for Christmas and his birthday, which luckily fall during prime Mallomars season. Strangely, neither my mom, nor my husband understand the allure...
** which are so not Mallomars that i can't even find a good link for you
Oh, and if you like the picture, up top, you can get it on a shirt here

1) Dug totally needs that shirt.
2) MMMmmmmm. Mallomars...
(they melt in the box in the summer so they don't ship them)
1) e-mail me your address and i'll have it shipped there.
2) i gueeeeeeeeeeeess. OTHER cookies, covered in chocolate, are sold 12 months a year. but they're worth waiting for...and stockpiling....
Mallomars still exist??
