Confiserie H. Kurmann, Luzern, Switzerland

What I love about traveling to different countries is learning about their desserts by simply eating them.  While in Luzern (Lucerne), Switzerland, I needed a little afternoon pick-me-up.  I stopped in to Confiserie H. Kurmann (sweet shop) right on the Reuss River and chose one of their Birnenweggen’s.  This, in my opinion, is a giant homemade Fig Newton.  The filling was dried pears with nuts and a buttery pastry covering.  It was so fresh, I don’t think I can go back to eating Fig Newtons from a package again.  The fruit filling oozed out with eat bite.  A delicious afternoon snack!
