Schwartz's Crunchmallows by Evan Orensten
Decadence takes many forms (and for some reason we seem to be fairly expert at several of them). Schwartz Crunchmallows are our latest obsession. Made in New York by the Schwartz family since 1939, these insanely delectable marshmallows sit atop a thin toffee wafer and are coated in semisweet chocolate. Other varieties include marshmallows with a caramel bottom, and plain marshmallows in eight flavors. They make traditional chocolates too. A box of ten Crunchmallows is $25.25, plus shipping, and is available from Schwartz Candies.

Trois Crepes Dark Chocolate Perles
Pearl-shaped and tiny, the Manhattan patisserie Trois Crepes' Dark Chocolate Pearls contain something like a buttery Rice Krispy in a coverture of bittersweet chocolate. A pleasing crunch and slight saltiness makes for a surprising experience, but the chocolate balances both the flavor and texture. The Perles are delicious sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt, but we also like pouring them directly into our mouth....

Fran's Smoked Salt Caramels
I'm a fan of all things that mix sweet and salty, so when I first tasted the rising confectionary trend combining chocolate, sea salt, and caramel, I was hooked. Fran's Chocolates, a company based out of Seattle, just kicked it up a notch with their introduction of a version that utilizes smoked Welsh sea salt. Sweet and complex, the savory punch perfectly compliments the...

Cocoa Coal
I'm really excited that more and more companies are creating "adult" food products that hit the sweet spot without pummeling you with extra sugar, HFCS, additives and preservatives; companies like GuS, and Fizzy Lizzy come to mind. Add to this growing cateogory my new favorite popcorn snack, Cocoa Coal from LesserEvil. Once you get beyond the name and the packaging you'll discover popcorn that...

Eight Salty, Sweet, Mouth-Puckering Licorices
by Karen McGrane Licorice seemed wrong and bad to me as a child, one of those things like coffee ice cream or kissing in movies that made me deeply suspicious of adult desires. As my tastes have matured so has my preference for licorice and I seek out only the darkest, chewiest, and most complex flavors. Used as a sweetener and a medicinal since ancient...
