Also in SF I was lucky to find—and eat!—one of Clairesquares' melt-in-your-mouth cookies. Composed of a buttery shortbread base, smooth caramel center and Belgian chocolate top, it's no surprise the sweet treats are Irish (like me!): they're whipped up by Cork-born Claire Keane in a green-certified San Fran bakery. She makes them in mini and confects other Eire-inspired goodies like flapjacks, shortbread sticks and brandy butter--buyable at Bi-Rite, the Ferry Building, and online. Also check out this crazy Bay Area jello art, and our May insert, packed with more takeaway foodie finds. Yum!
