I actually have not seen these in years but my mom absolutely loved them and we're doing some Christmas memory things so all of a sudden, this popped into my head.

I googled them but not sure - I remember a yellow or white box. There were about 24 or so in a box and they were even sold in grocery stores but you'd find them in higher end department stores around Christmas.

It would be cool to find them.

They were also delicious.

It seems that Google shows a lot of bakeries making them, so I looked on Amazon. Do any of these look familiar?

So many of them are so pretty!

try Vermont Country Store website for them. They have a lot of different food items that aren't widely found anymore.

We have a local bakery that makes the absolute best Petit Fours I've ever eaten - they literally melt in your mouth.

I remember Continental Petit Fours. You're not originally from New York, are you?

Dad would always stock up the freezer with those small white rectangular boxes. Two kinds... all chocolate coating... and the pastels (white chocolate).

From time to time they'd sell seconds in big tubs. We didn't care wht they looked like...lol.

As far as I know, they ceased business some time ago.

The closest I've found are boxed petit fours made by the Silver Lake Cookie Company. 141 Freeman Ave
Islip, NY Cookies United | The Freshest Source For Anything Baked! – Specializing in all your needs, from our line of bakery style European, Italian and Sugar Free to Licensed Decorated Cookies and Traditional Petits Fours.

My Stop n Shop carries these at Christmas time.
