Spreckels
While visiting the beautiful and famous Hotel Del Coronado, my sweet tooth needed some fulfilling. Walking around some adorable shops, I stumbled on this cute sweets shop called Spreckels. I love going in to candy shops cause well…it makes me feel like a “kid in a candy shop!” It’s always full of bright and jovial colors and just puts a smile of excitement on my face. This store had a great selection of candy. What caught my eye at the counter was what is called a “Browniepop.” Read More »

The Chocolate Bar is reopening it’s doors May 1! It will be so wonderful to have this “adult chocolate shop” back in the West Village. They have announced that new chef Gustaf Mabrouk will be making Mallomars year round! This treat is usually only sold October through April since they melt easily in warm weather.
Fun Facts About Mallomars:
1. It’s a circle of Graham Cracker topped with a puff of extruded marshmallow then covered in chocolate.
2. First introduced to the public in 1913; Nabisco sold their first box in Union City, NJ.
3. 70% of Mallomars are sold in metropolitan New York.
