Tasty Cheesecake Tidbit Treat March 17, 2008
Print This Post
Yesterday was a typical Saturday. We had a birthday party to drop our 7 year old off to, and in the midst of errands between Lowe's, Linens & Things and other assorted stores, I needed something sweet!
At about 3:00, we didn't want to stop for a sit down meal, we had already had lunch and were only a few hours away until dinner, but a snack attack was well under way.
We stopped at one of our favorite Italian deli's and started browing the aisles for something good to munch on. After all, you can't go wrong in an Italian deli, right?
After strolling to the back of the deli, I came upon the meat and dessert cases, and what do I find, but an entire display of cheesecake tidbits!
Picture 2" x 2" square morsels of the most creamy, delicious cheesecake treats. At only .50 a piece, this was perfect! I could choose from raspberry with white chocolate morsels or a turtle with chocolate. Much to my surprise, I opted for the raspberry and white chocolate instead of the turtle.
We paid for our treats, got in the car and before we got out of the parking lot, they were gone. Yum!! That was exactly what I needed to satisfy my sweet tooth snack attack without feeling like I over-indulged in the middle of a Saturday afternoon.
