Hail Merry Persian Lime Tarts--Yum!

I was prepping for a holiday party and was looking for something fun to take for dessert when I found these little gems at the health food store. I tried one right away and they are delicious! Super creamy and rich!

 

The crust is made with almond flour and the filling has stuff like coconut butter and agave nectar, so there's no dairy and no grains. They are certified G.F. Not something to have everyday but definitely fun for special occasions! They are a nice small size to pack in my purse to take to the party.

The site says that $45 overnight shipping is included in that price so if you can find them at a retail location they would be more reasonably priced.  The 340 calories would put me off from buying these on a regular basis but I LOVE tart lime flavored things :D.

I agree, shipping them would be way too expensive! They are less than $5 each at my health food store, so that's not a bad price for a special dessert once in awhile....

Mine was only 170 calories, if I remember right. I wonder if this one that I linked to was a slightly different one from the same company....

I saw these at one of the "health" food stores.  The ones I saw were small - about the size of a little round margarine tub.  Good to know they are tasty.  I might try one when I see them again. They are probably the same ones - 170 calories per serving (it has 2 servings).

 It says 170 calories, but 2.5 servings, so double that and then some :D.

Gotcha! I guess that I have to read the fine print a little better. ;) I'm not too worried about the calories for an occasional fun treat though, but it's good to know what they actually are. It's not too surprising that they are high, considering the amount of fats in it (almonds, coconut butter, coconut oil).

I guess  shipping alone  is a killer  price.. I  haven't seen them in any  of our local stores  , under $5.oo   for  an occasional treat  I  wouldn't  mind  ....there are  several gluten-free  items  I  would like to try but  shipping  & pricing  is  way to  high   for  my  budget....

Yeah, it's hard when you don't have something in your area.

I think I had one of those last year!  It was good!!  There's a restaurant (mostly carryout) in my area that cooks only healthy food.  Most of the business is meals to order that are delivered on a weekly basis.  A very cool concept!  The owner has celiac and lactose intolerance.  When I broke my hip last year, my hubs brought it to the rehab center for a treat.  When I was home, I ordered a weeks worth of meals to try it out.  It was...just okay.  I got sick when I ate the lactose free cheese that was on one of my burger meals.  I questioned her about it, making sure it was dairy free, and I was assured it was.  It definitely was not!!  Lactose free - yes, dairy free - no! So, I haven't ordered since.

That frozen food shipping can get ya good.  I tried one of those from a store, forget where, it was pretty good.  A nice treat.

I am a huge fan of Hail Merry's products, but the calorie content can be up there. I am a huge fan of their macaroons, namely the salted caramel ones. They make a heck of a bribe to get me to do things when I am feeling like " but I don't wanna" with me.  However their tarts like the  chocolate Almond butter one and the lime ones they have ones you can cut in half and eat in two different servings but the calorie content is way up there.

      They both do.  The peanuts add nutrients to the treat. Tootsie Roll: Sugar, Corn Syrup, Palm Oil, Condensed Skim Milk, Cocoa, Whey, Soy Lecithin, Artificial and Natural Flavors. M&M Peanut: milk chocolate (sugar, chocolate, skim milk, cocoa butter, lactose, milkfat, peanuts, soy lecithin, salt, natural flavor), peanuts, sugar, cornstarch; less than 1% of: palm oil, corn syrup, dextrin, colors (includes blue 2 lake, blue 1 lake, red 40, yellow 6 lake, yellow 5, yellow 6, blue 1, yelskim milk contains caseinlow 5 lake, blue 2, red 40 lake), carnauba wax, gum acacia. glycemic index of Tootsie Rolls ~83 gycemic index of M&M Peanuts ~33   The composition of non-fat solids of skim milk is: 52.15% lactose, 38.71% protein (31.18% casein, 7.53% whey protein), 1.08% fat, and 8.06% ash.   https://onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/9781118810279.ch04  Milkfat carries the fat soluble vitamins A, D, E, and K. The solids-not-fat portion [of milk] consists of protein (primarily casein and lactalbumin), carbohydrates (primarily lactose), and minerals (including calcium and phosphorus). https://ansc.umd.edu/sites/ansc.umd.edu/files/files/documents/Extension/Milk-Definitions.pdf

      But M&M's contain milk, and would not be at all like a Tootsie Roll.

      I appreciate you validating me because medical is an issue and it's not ok at all they they do this. Some days I just want to call the news media and just call out these doctors especially when they are supposed to be specialist Downplaying when gluten-free when they should know gluten-free is false negative. Now dealing with other issues and still crickets for disability because I show no signs of celiac BECAUSE IM GLUTENFREE! Actively dealing with sibo and skin issues.Depression is the key because thats all they know, im depressed because medical has caused it because of my celiac and related issues. I should have never ever been employed as a bus driver.After 3 years still healing and ZERO income desperately trying to get better but no careteam for celiac other than stay away frim wheat! Now im having care because my head is affected either ms or meningioma in go in tomorrow again for more scans.I know im slowly dying and im looking like a disability chaser

      M&M Peanuts. About the same calories and sugar while M&M Peanuts have fiber, potassium, iron and protein that Tootsie Rolls ("We are currently producing more than 50 million Tootsie Rolls each day.") don't. Click the links to compare nutritional values.  Both are made with sugar, not high fructose corn syrup.  I use them as a gluten free substitute for a peanut butter sandwich.  Try her on grass fed, pasture fed milk. While I get heartburn at night from commercial dairy milk, I do not from 'grassmilk'.

      I see it everyday on my feeds.  They go out and buy gluten-free processed products and wonder why they can't heal their guts.  I don't think they take it as a serious immune disease. They pick up things off the internet which is so far out in left field.  Some days I would just like to scream.  So much better when we had support groups and being able to teach them properly. I just had an EMA blood test because I haven't had one since my Doctor moved away.  Got test results today, doctor ordered a D3 vitamin test.  Now you know what  type of doctors we have.  Now I will have to pay for this test because she just tested my D3 end of December, and still have no idea about my EMA.
