Inspired by his favourite treat, the Cookie Monster creates poems about his beloved cookies.

At the new Inglewood bakery Cookie Mama, the prose turns to music with nearly two dozen types of cookies, each inspired by a classic tune.

Our favourites include Sweetest Taboo (sunflower and sesame seeds, oatmeal, wheat germ and coconut), Good Vibrations (dark chocolate and Skor chips) and the gluten-free Cocomo, a coconut macaroon with chocolate drizzle ($2.50 each). There are also egg-, dairy- and butter-free cookie options and cupcakes such as the Rocket Man (cookies and cream with chocolate oreo butter cream icing, $3 each).

“On-nom-nom-nom.”

We may not be immersed in the Pinkberry craze yet but another U.S. franchise has made its way to town to taunt our sweet tooth.

The first Canadian location of Spoon Me opened its doors in Kensington and luckily, the fat-free yogurt comes with a guilt-free guarantee.

First, choose from natural, green tea or acai frozen yogurt and then add toppings like fresh fruit, almonds, crushed Oreo cookies, coco puffs or rainbow sprinkles.

All the fun is in creating different combos every time like our newest, Rainbow Coco Puff Kiwi Chip.

Whether it’s a sweet tooth or a craving for salty delights, Rolo-topped pretzels do double duty.

Here’s our recipe for sweet gooey goodness with the perfect punch of spice for any occasion. Because really, plain old chocolate-covered pretzels are so passé.

Ingredients
Small pretzel rings or, waffle pretzels also work well
Rolo candies (same quantity as the pretzels)
Pecan halves (you can substitute with almonds or walnuts)

Method
Preheat oven to 200°C
Place the pretzels an inch or so apart on a baking sheet
Unwrap Rolos and put one candy directly on top of each pretzel
Bake 3 to 5 minutes or until you see the chocolate soften but don’t let the caramel ooze out
Take out of the oven and firmly press a pecan half into each chocolate top until it collapses on the pretzel
Feel free to let the caramel ooze out now

Allow to cool or take the risk by popping one now, it’s worth it.
