Desserts »Sweetheart Conversation Hearts
From Sweetheart
Is it just me, or do Conversation Hearts taste better? Once uniformly mute and chalky, now they have distinct and punchy flavors. I am happy with the change even though I was fine with them before too.
The wording, though seems stranger than I remember:
“Reach for It”? “1 on 1”? “Race Me”?
What happened to I Love You and Hug Me?
Oh, and forget all my praise if you have a total reasonable aversion to artificial flavoring.
Happy Valentines Evening!

Desserts »Honeycomb Chocolate
from Liddabit Sweets
A sign for homemade candy bars drew Jim and I back into Smorgasburg just as we were about to leave only slightly on the side of gluttony.
How could we resist crunchy spongey honeycomb dipped in dark chocolate?
I’ve seen Liddabit candies at various shops around town but this was the first I’ve tried.
A spectacular first impression. I only wish more came in a bag.

Desserts »Nonpareils
aka Sno Caps
There aren’t many Kosher products whose availability I look forward to (well, I do enjoy a matzo ball soup now and then) but come Passover time, Fresh Direct always offers these over sized dark chocolate Nonpareils.
Meaning “hundreds and thousands” the name refers to the white sugar sprinkles that match so perfectly with rich chocolate but in the world of confections are enjoyed on cookies, bread, and ice cream too.
The chocolate variety is of course, widely available in movie theaters nation wide as Sno-Caps, which I also love. But these, which come from the generically named 21st Century Snack Foods Company in Ronkonkoma are a superior version. Pick up a box if you have the chance.

Desserts,Recipes »Peat Scotch Truffles
To Die For
My friends are awesome and always bring great goodies to dinner parties, but Astrid really outdid herself with these Peat Scotch Truffles.
She used this earl grey recipe as a basis but used the Peat Scotch in place of tea.
It’s a very sophisticated taste, that is at once chocolatey and boldly smokey (the signature flavor of Peat Scotch). It’s almost jarring at first taste, then quickly becomes addictive.
Having a packet of these in the fridge is proving to be dangerous. Dangerously delicious.

Desserts »Everlasting Gobstoppers
Wonka Candy
The Everlasting Gobstopper is the stuff of sweet tooth kid dreams from the mind of Roald Dahl. In real life, it doesn’t last forever and it won’t be used to test your commitment to Willy Wonka but they are harder to find than one might think.
Thankfully, at least for a couple more days, I can pull the pregnancy craving card and spend several errand runs tracking some down.

Desserts »Rainbow Sprinkles
The Best Topping
Rainbow Sprinkles have pretty much been the biggest pregnancy craving I’ve had and I’ve been loving them so much, they were even the theme of my work goodbye party – complete with a mega sized container of the little toppings for at home desserts. By the way, I do not refer to these as Jimmies.

Desserts »Almond Joy and Peppermint Pattie Pieces
Brilliant Candy
The second I saw the commercial for Peppermint Pattie and Almond Joy pieces I was obsessed – but where to find them? Weeks of searches in drug stores and malls left me convinced that I had been hoodwinked. The tiny morsels couldn’t be found anywhere… Until now!
I got a text message from a friend who knew I was looking for them the same night Jim found hidden bags at the local Rite Aid. All the anticipation didn’t end in disappointment, these are as great as I expected.

Desserts »Peeps
Easter Treat
I am shocked, even disgusted that I’ve failed to praise my favorite holiday candy on this blog before! Peeps are possibly the best thing about Spring and I’ve been craving them like crazy the past few weeks. I’ve eaten all the ones that were in the house, so I borrowed the photo from the Brooklyn Public Library blog. Be sure to take a peek at this week’s Peep themed laugh.
