My husband took me on a romantic get away last Fall to Eureka Springs, Arkansas ( you just gotta check out Treehouse Cottages), and one of the high lights of the trip was our afternoon stroll thru the Village. Boutique lined lanes covered the rolling streets filled with quaint little shops, every specialty store you can imagine. Of course there was plenty of jelly to sample, that goes with out saying, but my favorite charming candy store had these lemon covered almonds that the owner enthusiastically said were her favorite. I was skeptical of her judgment, especially with all the choices available, but I reluctantly sampled her offering and much to my surprise, I fell in love with the Almond Lemon combo. I will be a forever fan, and found myself reminiscing of leaves falling from vibrant colored trees with every bite of my Custard Pie. The entire Pie is 392 calories, 15g net carbs, and 44g protein, and is intended to be shared... good luck with that ... ;)
