The Sweet Life is one of the “little gems” in the historic Lower East Side that has managed to withstand the test of time and become a permanent fixture in the neighborhood. Established in 1982, the family owned business is dedicated to bringing gourmet chocolates and candy from around the world---to their packed little store. The store itself is fairly small but somehow amongst the full shelves of candy, I did not feel overwhelmed or discouraged by the abundance of sugary offerings, but enthusiastic about what treasures I might find. In addition to importing sweets, they also make their own on-site. I decided to sample something handmade and unique to The Sweet Life. When I asked the sales person what their signature piece was, she recommended the Caramel softy pop. The lollipop is composed of marshmallow and caramel covered in a milk chocolate on a stick. I’m usually not a fan of marshmallow, but I decided to take her advice. It was amazing. The petite confection was light and fluffy and gave me a scrumptious sugar buzz--without making me feel overly guilty. If on the LES, pop into The Sweet Life and grab a pop!
