Have you ever eaten a bowl of cereal at 3 o'clock in the morning? Have you ever traveled many miles to get your favorite milkshake? Have you ever ordered cookies from a small bakery half way across the world? Have you ever driven an hour and a half to get your favorite chinese food? Have you ever bought an extra fridge to store the most delicious homemade baklava in order to have it when the craving strikes? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you are in the club.

Babka, Babka, Babka......Just the smell can make you weak.
Nothing is more enticing then the smell of freshly made Babka at the Town Crier Bakery at Peddler's Village in Lahaska, PA. As a young boy growing up in Lawrenceville, I can remember the excitement of walking through their doors with my mom to heaven on earth, Babka Town. Your mouth smiles, your eyes gleam and your taste buds dance with excitement as you await this warm Eastern European delicacy. Grandma would be proud to call this scrumptious dessert her own. If you cannot make it Peddler's Village for Babka, why not try baking some at home. There's a great recipe on RecipeZaar.com for Chocolate Babka. Let us know how yours turns out.
