A Little Bite of Heaven

NYC seems to be at the epicenter of new dessert trends. We've seen cupcakes, donuts, macarons and the like come and go and wax and wane. Dylan's Candy Bar is a major tourist destination and I won't even get into some of the magical desserts being served on food trucks these days (cough...Coolhaus...cough...Wafels & Dinges...cough).

I recently had the pleasure of sampling a new dessert item straight out of a Manhattan-based company called Becky's Bites. These bites are an original concoction, almost a mix between a chocolate truffle and a bon bon. They consist of a creamy based filling, rolled in a delicate layer of graham cracker, and are dipped in the finest quality Belgian chocolate, coming in 12 flavors ranging from Apple Pie, Salted Caramel, Cappuccino, Chocolate Covered Strawberry, Peanut Butter & Jelly and many more.


I tried the NY Cheesecake and the Cookies and Cream flavors and it was very hard for me not to eat the entire box in one sitting. They were delivered to my office so where slightly melty by the time they got to my desk, but who really minds a little chocolate all over their fingers, really? After I tried a couple I put them in the freezer and I actually liked the frozen bites better. To be honest I couldn't taste too much difference between the flavors because it almost seemed like the cookies and cream was just NY cheesecake with some chocolate/cookie powder added in. Who really cares though? These little bites were definitely heavenly.
