Is everybody ready? Do you have your bowls of candy at the door, ready to be handed out to the trick or treaters? But what about us? I have grown tired of stealing bite size chocolates out of the stash, I’m ready for a treat designed for me! There are of course plenty of options here in New York, and below I’ll give you some suggestions of some delightful Halloween treats for any age found right here in the NYC! Happy Halloween!
Magnolia Bakery
This very popular bakery is always prepared for a holiday. With locations all over the city, it’s not hard to find one. The cakes and cupcakes are not only delicious, but also decorated in the most adorable way. Besides the ghoulish treats, the Daily Cupcake is Pumpkin Spice with caramel cream cheese icing and surgared cranberries. Hurry….

Dominique Ansel
Dominique Ansel’s bakery is a premier shop downtown in the city, and his baked goods are of supreme quality. Everything is good here in my opinion, and for Halloween he’s come up with a Candy Corn Mousse Cake made with sweet corn mousse, orange mousse and vanilla mousse, layered on top of a soft almond biscuit. Delightful.

Dylan’s Candy Bar
Dylan’s Candy Bar on the Upper Eastside is probably the place to be on Halloween. Serving up sweet treats all year around, this is their holiday to shine. Of course there are endless options to satisfy your craving here, in all price ranges. My favorite here are the Marshmallows covered in Belgian Chocolate, decorated in the most adorable Halloween motif. You’ll get 6 for $30.00. Share! Or don’t…..

Du’s Donuts
This delightful Donut Shop is actually in Brooklyn, and worth a couple of stops on the subway, unless you already live in Brooklyn, like many of you do. Halloween or not, Chef Wylie Dufresne recipe for his New England style Donuts is irresistible. If you can’t make it there, Du’s Donuts delivers nationwide. Get yourself a Halloween Special Dozen!

Jacques Torres
Chocolate is King on Halloween! Snickers, Twix, 3 Musketeers, all of them are handed out in buckets today. If, however, you want to spoil yourself (or someone close to your heart) with a little bit of gourmet chocolate, then find your way to Jacques Torres. He has locations all over the city, and you will be greeted by a sea of chocolate, lots of it decorated and designed for Halloween. My favorite here is the Scary Duo, which will run you an impressive $74.99, but I think it’s worth it.
