Gavottes - Crispy Lace Crepes from France, 240ct, 44oz

I don't know quite how to describe these in relation to anything else I've eaten, and things like "Really good sugarcone" or "Like a buttery fortune cookie, but soooo much thinner!" are going to be more misleading than helpful. These are absurdly thin, very-thin-paper thin wafers of wheat flour, butter, and sugar, cooked brown and rolled up into a couple of bites of flaky insanity.They're delicate enough to be crushed with a bad intention, but they come wrapped two to a lovely gold foil wrapping, and in a very tough tin. I'm yet to find anything crushed or broken. Be aware however, that the nature of this treat is that the very touch of your hand is going to flake a bit off; what I'm saying is, having a napkin handy.

My first time ordering this through Amazon and at this quantity - have bought this in European supermarkets at much smaller packages. Was worried after reading some comments about crumbling of pieces, but luckily the top row is intact - will see about the rest as going through - even though the box showed two indentures on top from bumping. This is a very nice product with excellent taste, makes for a nice gift as well.

As part of my holiday gift giving I included a bag of baked goods and included a handful of these delectable bites. Everyone who received them needed to know where I bought them and wanted more information on what they are called. I also brought a few boxes into the office and everyone was so pleased. They are very delicate and a bit messy when eating them straight from the individually wrapped packaging but they are delicious and so tasty. Strongly and highly recommend. I would give 10 stars if that was an option.

I am so happy to order this large tin of Gavottes. I have been having some difficulty finding these at my local French import store so I was thrilled to find this here at Amazon.The tin contains 240 pieces of lightly sweet and crispy pieces of heaven! These are the plain ones, by the way, and I love it more than the chocolate-covered Gavottes.As for delivery, since the goodies were all encased in a tin box, none of them were crushed. Best served with tea, coffee, or with ice cream (either crushed or left as is).Wonderful!Thank you~

The most delicious confection but many arrived broken. These are very delicate, paper thin, crispy confections, with concentrated butter, feather light. They are my favorite cookie and a great treat. The price is reasonable for the quality. They must go through more than one shipping to get to us, so I'm surprised some report none broken while many of mine arrived broken. They taste just as good, of course. I recommend them very highly. The taste and texture make them a uniquely delicious experience.

Taste wonderful and was a gift to my boyfriend’s family who loved it!

Light, crunchy and thin, I deal with coffee. It’s basically a crepes dough but cooked all the way through. Always delicious.
