Holiday Help: RTE Sweets-Snacks



Shopping....wrapping...traffic...and oh yeah...daily employment...holiday times can exhaust. No wonder ready to eat treats are more welcome as worthy subs for what would formerly be slaved over.

For allergy leaning sufferers-or guests who maybe are...new Brooklyn Bites Cookie Brittles are absolutely addictive crispy hybrids cookie/brownie crust brittle tops...that deliver the sweet texture and taste indulgence WITHOUT gluten, dairy, soy, eggs or preservatives.


Mom-daughter founded Brooklyn Bites are REALLY made in Brooklyn...of real deal ingredients like gluten-free oats instead of white flour, coconut oil, low glycemic coconut sugar and almond milk=a healthier snack without sacrificing on the indulgence part one bit. 
Note: certified gluten free, vegan and kosher.

Inside the retro style packaging-are two stacks of yumminess. Taste wise...the homemade goodness comes through- rich  authentic deep dark chocolate piece of deliciousness. ..a slight nutty crunch  and a just right teeny tiny pinch of sea salt. We inhaled these after we got the cat away after a workout. Addictive for all-a warning that includes .fast moving fur children. 

Atop this ultra thin cookie/base-icing and crunchy candy bits made from dairy free white and dark chocolate, raw almonds, cinnamon, and organic brown rice crisps
Available in six flavors-seriously just reading the names are mouth watering...Coco Crispy Rice, Cinnamon Coffee Cake, Nutty Chocolate Sea Salt, Chocolate Lovers Delight, White Chocolate Brownie, Crunchy Creamy Pretzel
The 411:
Each flavor is 110 calories or less per serving, and are widely available including online for $7.99 for a 6-ounce package. BTW-wrapped well so the contents arrive whole...not in crumbs...though imo-these crispy thin cookies crushed up are perfect as toppings for ice cream, yogurt and pies.

Brick/mortar outlets= Wegmans, Fairway Market, Best Market, Uncle Giuseppe’s Marketplace, Westside Market NYC, 7-Eleven NYC, and more than 150 gourmet and specialty retailers. The cookie brittle will also soon be available at Kings Marketplace, Balducci’s, Shoprite, Giant Eagle, Market District and many more. 

GIFT-ABLE---buy a bunch and tie a ribbon around them.



Another coveted gift option-or as a much talked about party treat...Botanic Bakery's gorgeous confections are artisan made edibles beauties with macarons and floral flourishes...that will wow anyone in eyeball range. Also seen here---candy crystal Geode 'cookies' $42 that look like precious quart minerals and CBD lollipops with iris buds. In the mix-exotic flavorings  rose, lychee, elderberry, Champagne and/or edible 24K gold. 

We saw this stunner (plus insta devoured macarons)-at the opening night launch of SOHO/NYC Jaboneria Marianella...a luxurious soap bar and spa.
