Frozen S'More at Dominique Ansel Bakery

Do you have a hankerin' for campfire s'mores but you can't get out of Manhattan? Fortunately, it's 2013 and we live in a city of very innovative foodies, so these days if you need a s'more look no futher than Spring Street. Oh, and did I mention the twist? They're frozen!

First Dominique Ansel Bakery took NYC by storm with the Cronut (croissant and donut mixed pastry), and now they have done it again with the Frozen S'More. This sweet invention is made up of marshmallow, vanilla ice cream and chocolate wafers all frozen together, then torched to perfection.

Time Out Magazine has named this the "Dish of the Moment" and I completely agree! You can get your hands on one at 189 Spring Street NY, NY for around $6.

S'Mores aren't your thing? No big deal. Dominique Ansel Bakery has plenty of other enticing options to choose from. Check out their full menu here.

The days of summer are winding down, so get your summer Frozen S'More before they are gone. On the bright side, I can't wait to see what fabulous creation they come up with for fall. Frozen S'Mores for life!

Fondue For Me, Fondue For You

     Fondue is my new obsession. It's an amazing thing mostly because it makes consuming an entire block of cheese with your best friend completely acceptable for dinner. However, fondue doesn't only happen with cheese. You can fondue chocolate, veggies and meat too! And for those reasons I bring you my next favorite spot: The Melting Pot.

     This past weekend Alex an I took a trip to Atlantic City. When I was exploring the web for fun things to do there, it came to my attention that The Melting Pot was not too far away from our hotel, so naturally we were going to go there for dinner. I had been to The Melting Pot before and loved it! Friday night we walked the one mile from our hotel to The Melting Pot and had a fantastic fondue meal.

     What I really, really want to tell you about though is the end of the meal: the chocolate. We chose the S'mores fondue and I'm so glad we did. My mouth was exploding with excitement after the first bite. Our server came to our private corner booth (which by the way makes this a great romantic date spot fellas!) and mixed together our S'mores Chocolate. A fantastic combination of milk chocolate, marshmallows and gram crackers melted together to perfection.

     Once your chocolate is hot, it's ready to be devoured. They provide you with a tray of yummy things to dip in your bowl of chocolate such as; brownie bites, cheesecake, pound cake, strawberries, bananas, Oreo covered marshmallows and much more. It's the perfect ending to any meal.

     The Melting Pot has many locations all over the US. For my New Yorkers, you'll have to take a short travel to Hoboken, NJ and  for my Pennsylvanians, take a quick trip across the Maryland Line and head to  Towson, MD. 

     Happy dipping! And remember if your going for a full four course meal, you're going to be there for two hours (and spend about $100 for two people)  so sit back, relax and savor the flavors!
