Julie Ganong and Alan Mons of the Chococoa Baking Company in Newburyport have updated a favorite New England treat. The Whoopie is a smaller, richer, triple chocolate version of the classic dessert many of us remember from childhood. At just 130 calories for a chocolate Whoopie, with no trans fats, it’s practically guilt-free!

When you’re ready for something crunchy, look no further than Regenie’s. Regina Ragonese first created her homemade pita chips when she was running Ellie’s Lebanese restaurant in Lawrence. Based on customers’ rave reviews, Regina knew they were something special and made the chips her full-time business 20 years ago. Today, those famous pita chips come in seven flavors, and she’s expanded the snacks to include falafel chips and sweet pita brittle. All of them made with natural, simple ingredients. Regenie’s pita chips have a national reputation, and we’re proud Butcher Boy provides them in the Merrimack Valley.

Beach pizza is not just for summer anymore. You know what we’re talking about – square pieces of barely-there crust, sweet sauce, and a sprinkling of melted cheese. It sparks memories of childhood days spent on the seacoast. You can get that nostalgic taste right here at Butcher Boy, year-round! Family-owned and operated with three convenient locations in Salem, NH, Haverhill, and Methuen, Sylvia Bouraphael’s NH Beach Pizza now conveniently prepares and packages their pizza as a take-and-bake option, both fresh and frozen. Pick it up anytime and enjoy it from the comfort of your own home, beach sand not included.

What started out year ago as a tradition of baking zucchini bread from the family garden’s bounty, to sharing her baked goodness at local farmers’ markets, to her own bakery, Julie Gross has turned her z-licious breads into a successful venture. Julie’s Z Breads now includes all kinds of flavors of zucchini bread, not just the traditional. Choose from fruit breads, like lemon blueberry, chocolate varieties, and nut breads – there is also a great selection of popular gluten-free breads. Julie uses the freshest, local ingredients.

Next time you’re up for a night in while binging on Netflix or when you just need something to curb your cravings, think of Butcher Boy and choose a local snack. What’s your favorite?
