ika mints. Leila helped by suggesting the bulk order to save money. We simply wrapped two cookies and a mint in organza fabric. The favors were eaten before the night was over.

ortunately, Big Island Candies is a bit slow in responding, and also, they overcharged me $5 on my invoice (and didn't correct it). I was a bit peeved by that.

Delicious and simple!
