Caramels, chocolate bark, brittle. I received some yummy cookies from sdebrango who lives in NY and they survived the journey to OR completely intact and delicious. They were sent well-packed via priority mail.

HLA is right, priiority mail is the way to go. I send 2-3 day. The caramels and candy I got from HLA arrived perfectly, they were well packaged and fresh as the day they were made.

I stayed in Boston at a summer program and all they served was spaghetti with ragu sauce for dinner, so my mom overnighted a box of brownies and my friends and I ate it till we were sick. So definitely send them rush. However one of our family members sends us Mexican wedding cakes and some sort of rasberry tart cookie and they never seem to be too damaged. She ships them in metal tins and puts wax paper in between them.

I have sent pretzal/role cookies in the mail. Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Line a baking sheet with parchment paper. Place round (hard to find) or mini twist pretzals on the parchment paper with a rolo on top. Put in the oven for 10 minutes and when they are out, top them with a pecan, an M&M or cashew. Let them dry and they will ship wonderfully.
