… or anywhere in the United States! But as the main subject here is New York… we say New York. But the truth is that the delights mentioned here may be easily found anywhere else in the country. It is well known that the US is famous for its creativity and the amount of junk foods available – when I speak of junk food I don’t mean just the famous chains like McDonald’s or KFC. I speak of supermarkets and the wonderful world of tasty snacks – nothing healthy or light. But from time to time, it is worth, right? Obviously there are not only these – but I would say that these here are my favorite (at least so far!).
1. Oreo Ice cream sandwich – Oreo is really popular here. Besides the variety of flavors and fillings , there is still special and limited editions and other sweets inspired by cracker beloved (and tasty, in my opinion). There is a lot of ice cream sandwiches to try in the city, but you can also find it at the supermarkets, including a Oreo version.
2. Chocolate Bar Lindt – Lindt is a well known brand in the world of chocoholics and can be easily found in drugstores and supermarkets. You can not leave without experiencing at least one chocolate. But my suggestion is the Salted Caramel bar. By the way, I have to say, I’m an addict to this flavor and it is no coincidence that it appears in almost all the goodies mentioned here.
3. Talenti Gelato – forget Ben & Jerry’s, forget Haagen Daz: the most delicious ice cream of all is Talenti and, as I said before, Salted Caramel is my choice. And look, I will not say it’s just me, because I have spoken with many people who also love this brand and this flavor. In addition to the irresistible taste, it even comes with chocolate chips (with caramel inside) mixed with ice cream. I swear to you that I can’t control myself when I have one of this!
4. Twix Ice Cream Bar – you probably have been tried Twix chocolate, right? It is a mix with chocolate, cookie and caramel. As if that were not enough, they created a frozen version, which is delicious. Sold in boxes with some units, they will not survive for long, I promise.
5. Gourmet Popcorn from Fairway – 15ok, maybe this one you will only find in New York because it is manufactured by Fairway supermarket. By the photo, you can check the flavors, right? Salted Caramel, peanut butter, M&M and even salty flavors such as parmesan and cheddar. It’s irresistible, delicious flavor, addictive, super crispy … hmmm, my mouth is watering!
