Sugar-spiked treats
Sweets on a stick, The Sacramento Sweets Co.
I’m off to The Sacramento Sweets Co. in Old Sac for some good, old-fashioned treats dipped in chocolate—not a thin layer of chocolate either, but a rich, super sweet shell you break into to get to the good stuff. Inside the Caramallow on a stick ($4.20) are gooey marshmallows wrapped in soft, buttery caramel. Then there’s the Twinkie ($4.20) on a stick, toothsome and fun, like a sponge cake lollipop made by a 4-year-old. Probably the best treat, though, is the Rice Crispy Stick ($4.20) which tastes like the sugar-spiked milk leftover in a bowl of cereal. But crunchy. And on a stick.1035 Front Street, sacsweets.com.
