Filling up my pantry with more snacks because as we all know eating is an integral part of the lunar new year, hence The Bold Batter’s shortbread cookies are what I am reaching for this time! Going nuts for their “GO NUTS” ($20), the newer flavour was right up my alley with the mix of caramelized nuts studded in the buttery shortbread. More savoury than nutty sweet, the bits of sea salt were chef’s kiss as the extra dose of saltines was able to counter the sweetness of the aromatic caramel coating spotted on the toasty almonds and cashews. The crisp edges of the bite-size cookies also made them real addictive.

But for something decadent, look no further than their “GET SHORTY V2” ($25) which was very much worth the calories and the risk of a sore throat. The melty and generous chunks of rich bittersweet chocolate going hand in hand with the crumbly and buttery classic shortbread. That crunch from the sugar-crusted edges giving the pastry a nice texture and managed to balance the intensity of the dark chocolate as well as the salt flakes featured atop. Ideal as a gift for chocolate lovers!
