I found heaven in a chocolate coated package at McKinney & Doyle’s Fine Foods Cafe and The Corner Bakery:

Their Fruit & Nut Chocolate Bar.

I wish I had been able to get a pic before it was devoured, but it was not what it looked like that was most impressive. It was the taste that immediately provoked involuntary sighs of appreciation. The caramel oozed nutty buttery sweetness like a warm praline. It was the perfect way to end a scrumptious Sunday brunch.

McKinney and Doyle’s is located in the Village of Pawling. Their mission to serve serious food in a not so serious atmosphere is evoked through the exquisite vintage brick building studded with humorous quotes and black chandeliers.

When the food arrives you recognize the seriousness. All menu items are made from scratch, and are skillfully composed creating effortlessly balanced meals that possess a lightness from the use of the finest, freshest ingredients.
