Macadamia Coconut Brittle
Ed & Don's
If someone you know is heading to Hawaii for vacation, and if you selflessly volunteer to take care of whatever needs tending in their absence, you might just be rewarded with some tropical delicacy or other. Try hinting that a can of Ed & Don's Macadamia Coconut Brittle would be just the thing.
Made by hand on O'ahu since 1956, this crackly brittle is full of both actual butter and buttery macadamias. Add in the toasted coconut, and this confection's perfume is so potent, you get some residual satisfaction by huffing the empty can.
Rainbow Cake
Cakes of Paradise, $3.95/slice
Sink your fork into a little Aloha at either of Cakes of Paradise's two area locations. Hawaiian baker Mary Buza-Sims' personal recipes were the starting point for this family business now run by her nephew and two sons. The light, flavorful cakes feature tropical flavors like pineapple, passion fruit, and coconut. Three-layer Rainbow Cake combines strawberry, lime, and orange cake, with guava, lime, and passion fruit topping. You can pick up a slice or order a full sheet, which comes decorated with a fresh orchid.
