Russ & Daughters is a famous Lower East Side provider of bagels, cream cheese, smoked (and non-smoked) fish, and other such delicious brunch essentials. Unbeknownst to most, it also sells chocolate.
It sells bon bons:
It doesn't take them that seriously. They don't make them themselves, and the people who worked their did not know where they got them. But they were totally serviceable. They sell chocolate covered pretzels:
... which are honestly pretty hard to mess up. But the star is this:
Chocolate bagel bread pudding. Like regular bread pudding, but with bagels instead of bread. And chocolate chips.
At first bite, you'll be like, "This isn't chocolatey enough. But I better have another bite." At second bite you'll be like, "This still isn't chocolatey enough, but I'll have another couple bites." And pretty soon you are just shoveling it into your mouth like you have not seen food in six weeks.
Bottom Line: This isn't chocolatey enough, but I'll take a dozen.
