You’re gonna think I’m crazy, but… My favorite petit fours can be found in Harris Teeter around Halloween, Christmas, Valentine’s Day and Easter. Growing up on Long Island, my father used to bring home buckets (yes, buckets) of petit fours from local petit four outlet. They would sell slightly-imperfect looking treats for cheap. Oh my gosh, they were so good. Alas, one day they moved their factory to further out on the island and never again would we be blessed with loads of our favorite treats. A couple of years, before a trip back home, I decided to research the bakery with the hopes of possibly stopping by for some. But no luck. Until one day a few months later I was in Harris Teeter and sure enough they had petit fours that looked just right. I bought them and WOW – they were the same ones. I looked at the back of the package and sure enough, the company is in NY. I am sure they differ from the ones at Godiva and Sutton Place (which I will now have to try). But the ones at HT are really good, and not as expensive. Let me know if you try them. (Make sure you don’t by the ones that are in the pastry case – those are different, and IMHO, gross). These are the prepackaged ones found in the bakery department. They are usually a mixture of white and milk chocolate covered ones and there are about 15 in a package for around $6.
