Sweet Dreams

Moonpillows Mochi Truffles

Ooooeee. Another hard day logging in Peppermint Forest up on Gumdrop Mountain. Wouldn’t have been half bad, but your gummy boot got stuck in Molasses Swamp on your way back from break, and that jerk Lord Licorice docked your pay.

Rest your weary head on a Moonpillow. The newfangled treat’s an escape from Candyland.

On the outside: flavored chewy rice pastry known as mochi. On the inside: smooth and creamy ganache. And the rotating flavors are as imaginative as the confection itself: strawberry white balsamic, French roast, Key lime, chocolate peanut butter, chocolate cherry, passion fruit, coconut rum, pumpkin spice, and more.

Made in small batches and best eaten day of (or the day after), they’re available in assorted boxes of three, six, and twelve online or by the piece in person at the Brentwood Farmers’ Market on Sundays.

There’s no excuse for lollygagging.
