I started out today fully intending to round-up the best of the royal wedding treats – there were some great ones out there like, Maple Walnut Buckwheat Scones via Everybody Likes Sandwiches, Grilled Plum Cakes via Butterfly Food, Fun and Easy Cheesy Crackers via Oh She Glows and, of course, nothing says England like Eccles Cakes via Under the High Chair.

But then I came across this very sweet, heartfelt post from Susan at The Great Balancing Act, and it got me thinking. These tasty nibbles would work wonderfully for Mother’s Day too (it’s next week, you know) and I bet mom will appreciate them even more than your royal wedding party guests, if for no other reason than she’s your mom and she won’t have to wake up at some ungodly hour to eat them.
