Turkish Delights

I stumbled upon the (super pretty) blog The Sphinx and The Milky Way about a week ago.  While combing the archives I found this incredible photo of Turkish candy (more here).  It implanted a serious hankering for savory sweets.  One which, alas, went unsatisfied.

But... this week my boss returned from traveling Europe and the fertile crescent.  He brought back French clothing and Turkish candy.  I'm in heaven... a chocolate covered pistachio-brittle heaven!  The French threads are nice too.


I found a recipe here that looks like it may come close to what I'm devouring.  Mmmm.
