The first night I was in NY, my friend Ruth (she makes fabulous jams and wanted to go to the Fancy Food Show to learn about selling them on a larger scale) joined me and we went to Junior's for cheesecake. Look at this beauty:
Oh yes, that's cheesecake with chocolate cake, amazing chocolate frosting and chocolate chips and chocolate shavings. It was absolutely fresh, moist and delicious. And HUGE!
We also hit Hershey's Time Square store (as I mentioned) and I found these:
Macadamia nut Kisses! I love how the paper tag says Aloha! These are wickedly addictive. I haven't seen them anywhere else, but I highly recommend them. I ate almost a whole bag one night in my hotel room. It was the nuts - crunchy, delish.
Here we are at the show (see how big it all is?):
You weren't supposed to take any pictures, but my buddies at Walkers let me. Look at this amazing booth:
Rich wood, thick carpet - and it was packed the whole show. The gang was doing some SERIOUS business. This is the booth right before the award celebration:
They gave the guests these great Walker's goodies:
I love the paragraph on the back of the gorgeous black tin - Walkers is still owned by the founding family. And they do make some simply amazing shortbread:
And eight cookies were packed in there!
We'll be reviewing them in upcoming posts = sooooo good!!
Now, since one of my readers (thanks, Perry!) recommended these, I had to try some:
These cookies contains real bits of ginger:
Now, here's the deal - if you like ginger - these are amazing! I think real ginger tastes weird, so I am not crazy about these. My heart belongs to shortbread.
It was so fun to be part of the Walkers' celebration! And to play in NYC! More to come!!!
