Best in Show

When a big box of baked goods was delivered to me at the office, I had no idea what I was in for. Each item (from rice-crispy treats to brownies – all hand-cut to a colossal 3 ½ inches in diameter) was more impressive than the next. I quickly attracted a crowd. Canadian Family’s art director, Jeff Hannaford, stopped and thanked me for his espresso brownie (“the most decadent breakfast treat ever,” he said), and it wasn’t long before Rani Sheen, Wish’s copy associate, snuck up on me and whispered “I hear you have yummy sweets.” I forked over the white chocolate chunk cookie. Naturally, I saved the Chocolate Chip Supreme cookie for myself – it did win best cookie at the New York Fancy Food Show award, after all. The giant Bavarian chocolate chunks and crunchy toffee were balanced to perfection, and it was soft and chewy. Warmed in the microwave, this cookie is irresistible. Just some friendly advice: Don’t eat these treats all in one go – they’re sinfully rich. Bonus: All products are now trans-fat free.
