1. Fretzels by Jill
Fretzels take chocolate-covered pretzels to a whole new—gourmet—level.

2. Ivy Bakery’s Cinnamon Rolls
Forget about the worm . . . Early birds will score big getting to Brooklyn-based Ivy Bakery at first light, before the daily batch of out-of-this-world cinnamon rolls is gone. We’re obsessed with the original—light dough twirled with cinnamon and doused in glaze. For a fall flavor kick, try pumpkin spice or caramel apple variety. Not in the New York area? No worries. Ivy ships many of its 300-plus other treats anywhere in the U.S.

3. Lisa’s Cookie Shop Gourmet Snacks

But Lisa’s Cookie Shop, started by Lisa Ciriello, combines crowd-pleasing recipes and superior ingredients for cookies and bars that have us licking the crumbs off our fingers. From chocolate-chip cookies to raspberry bars to the best-selling Kitchen Sink Cookies, these goodies will make you feel as if you’ve landed back in grandma’s kitchen.

4. Gourmetibles Gourmet Treats
It’s indulgence time. Which way do you go? Cookie, candy. Candy, cookie. How excited were we to solve this dessert dilemma when we stumbled upon Gourmetibles. These wafer-thin cookies come slathered in butterscotch, dark chocolate, or peanut butter, and sprinkled with toppings such as almonds, walnuts, or marshmallows! For the serious sugar addict, try More than S’Mores or Pep’Mint Power, and for that salty-sweet fix, go with PB and Pretzel.
