These are the small after-dinner sweets that show up on Canadian holiday tables alongside the cookies, often in a two-tiered stand and often made well ahead of the day. Cream cheese brings the chew and keeps them soft enough to need the fridge. No baking is involved, so the only real work is waiting, which suits a household already busy with a full meal.
