Comment: Thank you for all the adorable edibles you sent! I already tasted the ones with nuts and the little fortunes inside, very yummy! The chocolate ruler is so neat, and so are the haribo gummy hearts, we don't have those in France. We are supposed to be one of the most romantic country in the world and yet, Valentine's day is not celebrated all that much here! Such a shame, I love celebrating it! :o)
Response: =D I'm happy you enjoyed your package! It was a fun one to put together!!
