Nicola's Marketplace Biscotti

I recently had the pleasure of tasting biscotti from Nicola's Marketplace. The website has amazing Italian foods which all look really wonderful and freshly made. Nothing beats Italian cooking, you can use the most simple ingredients and the dish comes out amazing! 

A little bit from their website:

Founded by Chef Nicola, the Marketplace was started in 2021 with a mission to bring customers a delightful experience with every order. Chef Nicola is passionate about high quality and taste when it comes to creating the ultimate culinary experience.

I liked the fact that they were not rock hard, my Mom's recipe is for a very soft biscotti which I love. If I don't want to dip them in espresso or coffee or tea, I can eat them on their own. Lots of cranberry in this one and hint of orange. Just enough. 

I love chocolate in general but when you pair with hazelnut or walnut, it's magic! These flavors were right on point, not too sweet and just perfect. The biscotti is also small size which is nice as well, especially if you want a few for breakfast. They make a very nice light dessert after dinner, 3 of them would be perfect after a heavy meal. 

You can really see them up close in these photos, they are really wonderful and I would highly suggest you give them a try if you are a biscotti lover! 

Just look at all the cranberries and pistachio !!!

Hayley Cakes from Bloomsburg Pennsylvania

We have a local farmer's market in our area, on Thursdays, and since yesterday was not so humid, I took a walk at lunch. It is great to purchase items at the market, as always fresh and so tasty. I kind of get bored when we have the same vendors year after year, I like variety. So when I stumbled upon Hayley Cakes, I had to see what they were. And to my utter delight, they were CUPPIES ! I honestly don't know why there is not a cupcake bakery in every town, the craze is not going away! In fact, it is bigger than ever!  

I was really in heaven here, yes those are very large biscotti! They call themselves a "cakery", opened in August of 2012, making scones, gourmet cupcakes, biscotti, custom and specialty cakes, cake pops and tarts. Bloomsburg is about a 45 minute drive from my home. The packaging was done very well and everything looked so good! 

I choose the mini-cuppies to take home, this way we could try a few different flavors. They were very, very good. They even had a filling inside (not expected) and the cake was very moist.  

I think I will be back to try the bigger ones next time, so nice to see some local folks taking advantage of an opportunity. If you are one of my local readers, visit the Farmer's Market on Thursday for some of their wonderful baked goods, or take a trip to Bloomsburg and see their full range of items.
