If you’re a Buffalo ex-pat who’s feeling heartsick at not being home for the holidays this year, here’s a sweet solution that should take some of the sting out of staying put. There’s a long list of bakeries and chocolate shops that will ship a taste of Buffalo right to your door. You name it — pastry hearts, peanut sticks, placek, sponge candy, Truffalo bars – whatever you’re craving from home is pretty much available by mail. But you need to act fast. There’s only a couple weeks until Christmas so deadlines for shipping are fast approaching.
