PRALUS
Available at Dean and Deluca
“Barre Infernale”
It’s massive brick of a thing, with milk or dark chocolate on the outside, and really unbelievable rich and smooth praliné (hazelnut paste) and whole roasted hazelnuts inside. It'll last you ages. It's flavorful, delicate and not too sweet. Worth every penny.

RONI-SUE’S
Lower East Side
Chocolates
She always coming up with new stuff - it's really incredible. She's got baked goods now, pie- and cake-inspired truffles, a sugar-free line...it's like she never stops! She has a sense of humor that's inherent in her products, too, which can get lost sometimes in the stress of running a food business or getting caught up in the scene...but she finds a lot of joy in it, which I think is underestimated a lot of the time.
ALMONDINE
Dumbo
Bakery / Sandwiches
Has the best baguettes ever. Great sandwiches there too.

They’re great - they have a new raspberry bar that I love. Their stuff is complex and not very sweet, which is nice when you're used to basically being on a sugar high 24/7.

Nunu's salt caramels are fantastic, and I'm allowed to say that because they're dipped in chocolate (ours are not).

SALVATORE BKLYN
Available at various stores.
The ricotta-orange-honey caramel, which has gotten really popular, started as an excuse to put Salvatore Bklyn ricotta in something.

Does really nice work.
They actually have pastry people there instead of culinary people doing pastry; not that that's the worst thing in the world, but showing you care about dessert as a restaurant is a really big deal - to dessert people, anyway.

Fantastic how they respect the ingredients above all and know exactly what to do with them; it's very clear how much they love food, and really reasonably priced.

Jen used to work at Per Se; I've been lucky enough to tag along with her for a meal, and they do amazing things there. Dessert is like 5 courses long...'nuff said.
