AGENDA
INC.REDIBLE INDULGENCES
By Julia Sexton
NAUGHTY AND NICE
These sweet and elite treats satisfy even the most discriminating palates.
TINS BY COCOA
These pretty, ribbon-wrapped tins are just the thing for getting out of the just retribution for (almost) any indis- cretion. Look for candy bark made with fine white, milk, or dark Belgian chocolate—we like the Sea Island ver- sion with dark chocolate, crystallized ginger, and salted pistachios; Cocoa, Larchmont (914) 834-6464; cocoa chocolateshop.com
DESIGNER HANDBAG CAKE
These edible replicas of designer bags come in a variety of flavors
and fillings and can be made to mimic any iconic bag. The inte-
rior is layer cake, carved by hand then covered in marzipan, which
can be dusted in edible gold finishes, hand-painted, and can include a number of textures
and embellishments—from quilt- ing to ruffles to edible pearls and beading. Look for edible
Birkin and Louis Vuitton bags and bejeweled Judith Leiber
clutches, which are encrusted with French dragées, metallic
jordan almonds, and rock sugar. $250/serves 6-10; Lulu Cake Boutique, Scarsdale (914) 722- 8300; everythinglulu.com

PROHIBITION TRUFFLES BY CHRISTINEATS
This naughty pink box with a coy, winking pinup hides a supercharged surprise: beautiful, decadent chocolates filled with liquor-infused ganache. Look for red pepper tequila, whiskey caramel, orange Grand Marnier fillings (and more!) to come covered with delicious white, dark, and milk chocolate. Scandal is only one bite away. $12.99 for a box of 12; Whole Foods Market, Yonkers (914) 378-8090 wholefoodsmarket.com
THE SNACKER BAR BY LIDDABIT SWEETS
Let’s just say that you were a
child who loved your Snickers bars, but you grew up into an ex- Brooklyn hipster who treasured every book by Michael Pollan.
This gooey, peanutty take on a Snickers bar is just the ticket for you: It’s hand-made by a small, independent candy factory in Brooklyn that uses locally sourced ingredients whenever possible. $8.99 for a 5.3-ounce bar; Whole Foods Market, White Plains (914) 288-1300; Yonkers (914) 378-8090 wholefoodsmarket.com
