Treat Yourself to LuLu’s Sweets

Even though Valentine’s Day is 11 months away, there are tons of other holidays when your sweetie deserves some sweets. Or how about sending your mom or dad some Mondel Bread for their special days, in flavors like Heath Bar or Lemon Poppy Seed? Then there are the midnight munchies when you’re up studying late and you just need a sugar fix to finish the last page of your paper.

Visit lulussweets.com and view the extensive, mouth-watering menu of Lu Lu's Mondel bread. It's better than biscotti! In addition to the blissful taste is the incredibly cute packaging available for gifts. –J.K.
